MY GREAT MATE's achievements over hurdles do not measure up to what Rocky's Diamond accomplished in that sphere, but he made a positive start to his chase career when second over this C&D at the end of July and, at the likely prices, he is an appealing alternative to Declan Queally's charge. Rocky's Diamond will naturally be a big threat if his jumping passes the test and he is the clear main danger ahead of Waterford Whispers.

  1. MY GREAT MATE (IRE)
  2. ROCKY'S DIAMOND (IRE)
  3. WATERFORD WHISPERS (IRE)
