INESSA ARMAND and Brick Rising have been taking it in turns to beat each other. The latter came out best at Windsor in April but has since run a shocker at Salisbury and the former scored at Kempton before that - Stan Moore's filly gets the vote back on Polytrack. It's difficult to see any of the remainder getting into this as Rock Diamond looks to be treading water and Thursday's Leicester third Spanish Art is getting no closer.
