Formscan By John O'Riordan - A hugely progressive gelding over hurdles last season, ROCKY'S DIAMOND looks the one to beat. Having landed a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park last October, the Declan Queally-trained gelding went on to land a Grade 2 just three months later, before subsequently finishing fourth in the Stayers' Hurdle. An impressive winner on his chasing debut at Galway in September, he ran into a decent opponent when narrowly beaten at Wexford last time. A Listed winner over flights, Oscars Brother has always given the impression he would make a better chaser. Runner-up on his first two starts over fences, the son of Malinas scored easily on his latest start. Koktail Diva should be all the better for his recent chasing debut.
