Verdict
DINONS has won a maiden at Roscommon and a novice event at Killarney since falling when clear at Bellewstown. Gordon Elliott has taken the added insurance of booking James Bowen for this conditionals’ race and the five-year-old will be a short price. Tramore fourth Minstrel Song could complete a 1-2 for Ireland, though Placedela Concorde will appreciate the return to novice company after two runs in handicaps. Pantomime disappointed at Market Rasen after a fair fourth at Hexham so has a bit to prove now.
