Verdict

DIAMOND DU BERLAIS stands out a mile on her French form so should prove very hard to beat on first outing for Willie Mullins. Khutulun Khan and No Flies On Her can battle it out for minor honours.

Collet's yard for €160,000 in July and stands out on form for all-conquering yard. 1st Pick 4 Diamond Du Berlais (Fr) Jockey: Mr P. W. Mullins Trainer: W. P. Mullins, Ireland J: Mr P. W.
