DIAMOND CAN CUT IT

HARDY DIAMOND (3.40) can sparkle for Gordon Elliott on Auto Services Ltd Raceday at Perth.

The mare recorded a personal best over fences when outbattling Pride Of Place at Kilbeggan.

The bay is unexposed over three miles and will be primed after a warm-up on the Flat.

The Meath ace should also claim the opening novice hurdle with CHORTAL (2.10).

GARDE DES CHAMPS (2.40) can land the novices’ chase for Team Russell and Scudamore.

The nine-year-old gelding improved again over fences when edged out by King Roly overtrack and trip and remains on song so can turn the table on his rival at today’s weights.
