Verdict
DIAMOND DAME got off the mark over hurdles at Clonmel recently and may be good enough to defy a penalty. Cloudy Morning could also figure but has a few lengths to find with the selection on latest running but The Bugler should have come on for his recent pipe-opener at Naas. It's hard to find any worthwhile form among the remainder with perhaps Tynaghs Trooper and Gatesoffrance the best of them.
