Dessie's Diamond second at Lingfield
Tony Killoran's Dessie's Diamond ran and jumped really well in very testing conditions at Lingfield, to finish second beaten just over four lengths. Jockey J J Burke held him up, closing well to a great position two out, and then easily beating off the odds-on favourite to take second after the last. Given that he didn't appreciate the very soft ground, this was a great effort and he will surely soon be breaking his maiden tag on better ground.
