Diamond can sparkle again on favourite track
David Evans’ inmate opened his turf account over a mile and a quarter with ease here in June and has remained in good order since.
He relished a return to the Sussex track when he held on by the shortest of margins over course and distance last week and races off the same mark.
The yard have been among the winners recently and conditions are sure to be in his favour, so it would certainly be no surprise to see Diamond Dan regain the winning thread.
The progressive Rahy’s Crown remains on an upward curve and looks to have every chance in the totesport.com Brighton Challenge Cup.
He has left his juvenile form well behind this term and gave the impression there was more in the tank when scoring on the polytrack at Lingfield on his penultimate outing.
His previous victory came at Warwick and he showed he can do it on firm ground when filling the runner-up berth over this trip at Bath latest – leaving his strong finish too late to catch Ollie George.
Gary Moore’s charge is sure to be doing his best work at the finish again and would not have to find too much to go one better off a similar mark in this company.
