12:43 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden Hurdle

Race preview

NEWBROOK DIAMOND is taken to make it third-time lucky over flights. An encouraging second on his racecourse debut here in November, he was a little disappointing when third on his latest start at Punchestown. However, Jack Kennedy later reported that his mount hung badly left throughout, and perhaps a return to this left-handed circuit will bring out the best in him. Takenasred has been knocking on the door and had a subsequent winner directly behind when second on his penultimate start at Down Royal. Third when last seen at Ayr, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to make the breakthrough now. Starting off over flights, the Willie Mullins-trained Future Prospect warrants the utmost respect.
