    Verdict

    Diamond King won the Coral Cup back in 2016 and was successful in a small race at Thurles last year. He’s been off the track for a while and is having a first run for Olly Murphy but can’t be ignored, though may find this too short. Prince Charmin' is fit from the Flat and the only other racing off his correct weight but MARTILA may offer up more value as she’s finished second three times over course and distance, the latest in May of last year off this mark. Recent winners Diocese and The Herds Garden have more to do on these terms.
