Verdict
Winning bumper Russian Diamond made a successful hurdling debut then ran the smart Aione close at Naas with the remainder well beaten. He has a penalty to carry which could let in the four-year-old RECENT REVELATIONS, a close fourth in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham. Barrington Court beat a huge field in a Punchestown maiden and wasn't right in a novices' event at Leopardstown while Rewritetherules, a useful hunter, made a promising start over a trip too short on his hurdling bow at Limerick.
