Forecasts

Diamond Hill (8/15), Beautiful Citi (9/4), The Princetonian (6/1), Indian Music (12/1), Duchess Ravenwaves (25/1), Osca Loca (25/1), Chosen Flower (25/1), Lucky Phil (25/1), Randall's Alannah (25/1), Gameasapebble (50/1), Be That As It May (50/1), Cul An Ti (50/1), Let Her Flow (66/1), Lady Lamplight (66/1)

Verdict

Trainer Willie Mullins appears to have brought yet another winning string to the Listowel part and DIAMOND HILL can continue the sequence here to back up wins at Ballinrobe and on the Flat at the Galway festival last month seeing off the attentions of the consistent Beautiful Citi and last time out beaten favourite The Princetonian. Indian Music is better than her form suggests and can go well at a price.
  1. Diamond Hill
  2. Beautiful Citi
  3. Indian Music
