Pat Smullen is an interesting booking for Dinkum Diamond, a regular winner in the UK for Henry Candy He hasn't shown much in two runs for new connections and the stable may have a better chance with Sors, who won three times last season. He was a long way behind TITHONUS at the Curragh in September and Denis Hogan's charge, beaten a short-head in a tough handicap at Doncaster subsequently, should have come on enough for last month's run at Naas to take this. Imagine If hails from a yard in form and ran well in a strong Naas handicap after landing a Navan maiden in October while Petitcoatgovernment is 1lb lower than when scoring over the course and distance in June.
