Verdict

RUSSIAN DIAMOND benefited from a return to front-running tactics and was well on top at the finish when scoring in a novice at Fairyhouse last time. If he can reproduce that sort of performance, he should prove hard to pass, although Braeside and Mister Fogpatches could both give him plenty to think about.
