BOYLE SPORTS MAKE SWORDS DIAMOND 5/4 FAVOURITE FOR PRODUCE STAKES SUCCESS

Peter Farrell

This Sunday will see the 2026 National Produce Stakes come to a conclusion at Clonmel Greyhound Stadium and despite suffering a shock defeat in the semi-finals, Swords Diamond remains the clear favourite to hand Graham Holland a fourth success in the Classic.

Indeed, Swords Diamond is bidding to add his name to an illustrious list of winners that includes Clares Rocket, Clonbrien Hero and Newinn Taylor. Despite tasting defeat in the semis, he lost little in defeat and 5/4 looks a fair price ahead of Friday’s decider.

Scooby Marquess was the one to lower the colours of the outright favourite and Jennifer O’Donnell’s star, who has posted some remarkable third-bend clocks throughout the competition, is the 5/2 second favourite despite a tricky draw in trap five.

Thereafter, Droopys Winsome is available at 5/1, while the inside pairing of Berlin Trilogy and Firstpastthepost have both been chalked up at 6/1. Oriental Prince is the outsider of the field at 20/1.

T3 – SWORDS DIAMOND – 5/4
