NACHTGEIST failed to meet expectations when a gambled-on favourite on debut for the Murphy yard last month but the step up in trip here promises to suit and he's worth keeping the faith with. Orange Diamond ran well over C&D last time and has to be respected again after an eye-catching stable switch, whilst Boskill Borden has also done well since the visor has been applied and can reach the podium over C&D for the third start in a row.
