Don Diablo looked a likely future winner when third behind He's A Hardy Bloke at Clonmel in October but didn't handle the much more testing ground at Tipperary later the same month and has been given a break. Conditions won't be a problem for GENTLEMAN DE MEE, twice runner-up in heavy going in France in the autumn of 2019 and now with the champion trainer. Golf Marin ran well for a long way at Punchestown but will need to step up and the remainder make little appeal.
