KYLE VALLEY went close on her Kilbeggan handicap debut last month and might be able to go one better now. Diamonds Diva is a potential improver in handicaps for Jessica Harrington and heads the possible dangers along with Butchers Bill and Knockraha Eagle, another who could take a step forward in handicaps.
