Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to MERISI DIAMOND, who scrambled home at the Curragh back in April and Thomas Coyle's 7-y-o remains on a handy mark after just a 2 lb nudge. Provided he's ready to roll, he can enhance his good record here at the expense of another track-specialist Earls, with Ninth Crusade and Highbury See See a couple worthy of consideration, too.
