Burrows Lane was only beaten half-a-length over a longer distance at Downpatrick last month but is already looking a bit exposed. Ciaoifsin has shown his best form so far over hurdles so the vote goes to APASIONADO as Mervyn Torrens' gelding only gave best inside the final furlong when third at Down Royal having had to work hard to get to the front. Stolen Diamond is the first foal to race of a Flat and hurdles winner so is definitely worth a market check.
