Dream Diamond sets a high bar after running Kel Histoire close at Cork last month and will have plenty of supporters with Patrick Mullins booked for the ride. However, the yard hasn't had a winner since April 2023 which is a concern. Sine Qua Non was probably flattered by his demolition job in a two-finisher point-to-point, but impressive Ballyknock point-to-point winner SPINNINGAYARN gets the vote on debut for Gordon Elliott. Eachtotheirown is worth a market check. [Adrian Wall]
