Rocky's Diamond is our selection, and on our figures he is a full 10 lb better than anything else in this five-runner field, a gap that should count for plenty over the marathon trip on soft ground at Wexford. Bossofthebrownies is the most likely danger as the next best on 140, while Sandor Clegane and The Enabler are only a couple of pounds further back and could take advantage if the ratings gap is not translated into a clear run. The top-rated runner can impose himself, though confidence is only low, so Rocky's Diamond gets the vote.
