ROUGH DIAMOND gave chase to a smart winner here last time and has more to offer after just 2 runs. He can resume winning ways stepped up to 7f. Royal Pippen opened his account in good style at Limerick and could progress further now handicapping. Soaring Monarch may also have another prize in him before the season is out.
