Race Verdict
DIAMOND'S RETURN is clearly some way ahead of the assessor at present and completed a quickfire double when routing his Plumpton rivals on Friday. David Pipe's charge is turned out quickly again today but a 7lb penalty isn't expected to halt his progress and he can see off Ruby Crown, who bumped into the in-form Cool Baranca at Market Rasen over the weekend. Returning to action, the consistent Petito completes the shortlist.
