Dan Skelton knows exactly how to get the very best out of TOO MANY DIAMONDS, and this improving seven-year-old brought his record for the stable to 5 from 10 when winning over C&D last month and rates as difficult to oppose from just a 4lb higher mark. Others with each-way claims include the course specialist Ulis De Vassy, the mare Barton Rose, and the not wholly straightforward Oscar O'scar.
