ROUGH DIAMOND confirmed himself a sprinter operating firmly at the top of his game when bolting up over C&D 6 weeks ago and a 7 lb rise may not prevent another bold bid on that evidence. Dream Today, who finished runner-up on that occasion, is a threat, along with Hodd's Girl. Benavente is also worth keeping an eye on having displayed much more encouraging signs back on AW last month.
