DIAMOND TOPS CHAMPION STAKES MARKET

Ian Fortune

Bockos Diamond has been installed favourite with the sponsors for the BOYLE Sports Champion Stakes, which will get underway at Shelbourne Park on Friday night.

The brilliant son of Dorotas Wildcat clearly did enough in his latest start at Shelbourne Park to convince the odds-compilers that he remains a potent force as he is just 3-1 to land the €20,000 prize.

Just behind the sensational 2024 Derby champion are Kirby Memorial winner Bouncing Monarch and the brilliantly fast Epic Ace with both on the 4-1 mark. Glengar Kane has yet to see racing action at Shelbourne Park but is at singles figures on 8-1.

Two of Liam Dowling’s best Solo And Go and Ballymac Kamala are next in at 12-1 ahead of Gold Cup winner Coloursaregreen and Juvenile Derby champ Getup The Boy at 16-1. The full market can be seen below:
