Bally ho for dazzling Diamond

THE Cheltenham Festival is usually dominated by the big stables but Nick Williams believes Diamond Harry can strike a blow for the smaller yard in Wednesday’s Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle.

Williams trains a relatively small team of horses at his base in Devon but has unearthed an unbeaten six-year-old with bags of potential.

It was generally perceived he was below-par when beating Alan King’s Bensalem at Prestbury Park last time.
