DIAMOND RIVER made mistakes when ultimately disappointing at Uttoxeter on hurdling debut but, if his top yard has ironed out the flaws in his jumping, this above-average bumper winner should be able to outclass these rivals. That said, Grey Spirit and Pink Sheets are both on the up, and neither will be a pushover.
