Arabian Diamond landed a bumper on this track by 19 lengths then appeared to find 2m5f stretching his stamina on his hurdling debut at Galway and this isn't much shorter. Musta Lovea Lovea was well supported on a couple of occasions during the winter, running poorly at Thurles before a neck defeat on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. RULE THE WIND came in for strong support when stepped up to 2m6f at Downpatrick but fell five out when in contention. Compensation awaits in this moderate event. Any money for Ayr bumper winner Bumble Bee Bet should be noted.
