Dixieland Diva (5/4), Gratified (9/4), Forward Thinker (7/2), Spirit Of Buxted (17/2), Dazzling Diamond (12/1), Copilot (14/1), Lucky Kisses (28/1), Crystal Blade (40/1), Caledonia Earl (50/1), Sky Bandit (50/1)

If the market speaks favourably then it should bode well for DIXIELAND DIVA on her return from a year off. The form of her Newmarket second is decent and she could well be destined for better things. Forward Thinker also ran well at Headquarters in one previous outing and is deemed likely to be an improver this term. Gratified shaped nicely on debut at Yarmouth recently and, having changed hands since, should be capable of winning races for Archie Watson while Dazzling Diamond should be wiser on second start for the Hannon team.
