Verdict
CRAZY DIAMOND (NAP) is unbeaten in point-to-points and only found subsequent Perth winner Wayupinthesky a half-length too good on his debut under Rules at Kelso. There is no reason why any of Darsi Dancer, The Brig At Ayr or Kalastar should reverse that form here and the 11-year-old is a confident selection. Cave Hunter, Dun Faw Good, Indigo Island, Know The Rules, Newspage and Sea Scout are all recent winners between the flags so worth a market check, as is the consistent pointer Anddante.
