Verdict

ETHICAL DIAMOND possesses the best form on show so is fancied to gain a first win in this sphere now back in these calmer waters. Gordon Elliott's newcomer Amber Point could prove the one to give Willie Mullins' 5-y-o most to do, with Kainsbourg and Quint Major appealing as the pick of those in the battle for minor honours.
