MERISI DIAMOND starts out with Martin Brassil with more to offer so is fancied to make light of an 11 lb weights rise and follow up his course success. The returning C&D winner Downforce could emerge as the chief threat, although a solid case can be made for Master Garvey and Angel On Fire at these weights.
