Diamond set to Produce again with Trilogy ready for openers
SWORDS DIAMOND boasts the only unbeaten record in the event after two contrasting wins and he can sail through to the decider with victory in the second semi-final of the National Produce Stakes over 525 yards at Clonmel (9.31).
Graham Holland's dog has been fastest in both rounds to date, dominating throughout in the opener and then powering through late to secure victory seven days ago.
He gets the vote from Ian Fortune who takes a look at the semis below with his nap going in the opening semi at 9.18 in the shape of Michael O'Donovan's Berlin Trilogy.

There is some excellent action on the undercard with the Derek Kehoe duo of Slaneyside Layla (7.31) and Slaneyside Cyril (8.43), the syndicate-owned Attack Attack (7.51) and David Flanagan's Bobmar (8.09) all having good claims.
There is also earlier Irish action at Mullingar where the best could come early in the shape of Ian Reilly's Coolderry Kate in the opener at 11.13 and Catriona Ni-Duill's Salsa Venus in race two at 11.29, with subsequent picks being Morgan Crowley's Clonearl Mist (11.45) and Ni-Duill's Kuma Targaryen (12.38).
Harlow has a Friday double-header with Darren Whitton's consistent Moaning Noosa (12.12) the early standout, while Darren Ellerker's Valley Rockstar (8.34) should take the beating in an inter-track this evening.
Robert Rotherham's Kirstiethepenter (3.22) looks best on the Star Pelaw afternoon card.
