Divine Magic²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: N Callan| T: M Botti| OR: 88| D

11/4

Improved again to resume winning ways in 6-runner handicap at Leicester (7f, good to soft, 9/4) 21 days ago, typically held up. Those tactics harder to pull off here.

Form: 157-331

Lalania¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: W Stone| OR: 83| CD

5/1

Back to form when making all in 5-runner handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 18/1) 10 days ago. Won this race last year off 3 lb higher so likely to make another bold bid.

Form: 160-661

Good American²⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: R M Beckett| OR: 88| D

10/3

American Pharaoh filly who overcame greenness when making all at Salisbury first time out in September. Not disgraced in Group 3 at Newmarket following month and remains with potential as a 3-y-o.

Form: 17-

(5)

True Jem²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: J Quinn| T: K R Burke| OR: 77

18/1

Cosy winner of a 6f Goodwood handicap last month, form which has been subsequently well-advertised by the second and third. Best to overlook latest effort at Haydock (baulked and virtually knocked sideways over 1f out) and she's a big player.

Form: 363317

It could be worth chancing GOOD AMERICAN, who was far from disgraced in the Oh So Sharp Stakes at Newmarket when last seen and remains unexposed now handicapping on her 3-y-o return. Fellow 3-y-o True Jem's Goodwood win has worked out well and her next run at Haydock is best forgiven, so she is feared most ahead of last year's winner Lalania.
