    Verdict

    Diamond Ring showed a modicum of ability last term but has yet to repeat anything like those efforts this time round. Down To The Woods looks too high in the weights and Fig Leaf should have done better last time when a beaten favourite. So too was Creskeld who cannot be ruled out entirely however. Nor can Yenaled on his best form, but the one to be on here is Diamond Lover. Neil Graham's topweight hit winning form on his first fibresand appearance, first-time blinkers helping his cause. Useful on turf, judging by his efforts at Newcastle and Ascot, the three-year-old has the scope to defy a rise in the weights, and can take this comfortably before going on to better things.
