Blairmayne has a fine record here and though he's only won twice in 19 starts he's been placed in his last five starts on the track including his latest when a close third behind A Step Too Far. However, just in front that day came BECKWITH PLACE and Tracey Collins' charge is taken to go one better. Not Now Zeb and Royal Canford were behind and look held but Rough Diamond will have his supporters after a debut success here in August. Lustown Baba bounced back to form in a premier handicap at Naas while Prince Of Naples was engaged in the 1.50 at Limerick yesterday.
