Don Diablo started favourite at Clonmel and led half-a-mile out but couldn't keep up the gallop when passed. He can do better with that under his belt though IL COURRA gets the vote after a very promising debut when well supported at Kilbeggan. La Mystere ran in a Gowran Listed race last time and was a 100/1 chance though ran better than expected. Annual Review is Flat-bred and connections will be hoping the ground stays good but Enniskerry is out of a mare who has produced bumper winners with her first two offspring.
