This looks stronger than the opening division and CALDWELL DIAMOND showed potential in a Fairyhouse bumper and normal progress can see him off the mark. Da Capo Glory won a Galway bumper in October and has been very highly tried including when last of seven in a Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown. He could provide the main threat though So Scottish, a winner between the flags, had also performed with credit in bumpers and wasn't right when beaten a long way over hurdles at Clonmel. The four-year-old Runway Queen showed improved form here last week while Clear The Clouds hails from a yard in good form.
