Kylecrue has done his connections proud and was winning for the 12th time when just outstaying PROSPECTUS (NAP) at Galway. The latter didn't quite get the run of the race and, as he's only a four-year-old, should have enough improvement in him to land this. Diamond Cauchois ended the last campaign scoring over 2m7f at Thurles where his stamina came into play so this could be on the short side on his return to action. Jack Dillinger hasn't had much racing and can make further progress though he's yet to prove he stays this far while though Eight Till Late was in superb form on summer ground he isn't as effective on going with plenty of give.
