Verdict

FEAR THE DIVA (2) came from a wider barrier than this when breaking her maiden at this circuit and distance two back. Raced parked and faded when tackling a higher-graded race than this since. Draws well and this looks winnable. SILENT THEORY (4) hasn't featured in two outings since a breakthrough win at Cambridge but they were against stronger opposition than this. Has performed well here before. TRES BONNE FILLE (3) draws well and can be competitive if she performs up to a second from the back row here last month. ESTER LUCY (1) drew very wide and made mistakes when resuming. Fitter and could improve from the ace draw.
