The Mouse Doctor was engaged in the 8.25 at Fairyhouse last night. Ace Of Diamonds beat a big field over 1m2f on soft ground here in April of last year and all of his subsequent starts have been on similar going so it remains to be seen how he acts in tonight's conditions. For Pleasure's victory over Remmy D here in May hasn't worked out though he ran quite well over shorter at Navan last time. BLACK LABEL (NAP) has slipped to a very lowly mark and is likely to be taking advantage soon. His close second to Park Row at Fairyhouse last time was his best for a long time and this could be his day to return to winning ways. The lightly-raced Subjudice makes his handicap debut after showing some potential in three maidens.
