MERISI DIAMOND has quickly dropped to 2 lb below the mark he defied here in the spring and is worth siding with under Dylan Browne McMonagle. Second choice is Nouvel Espoir, who has been in cracking form since the start of the summer and also has the services of a top jockey. All The Girls is well handicapped on all-weather form and is also shortlisted along with Tolebi.
