DIVINE DIVA was back to looking much more the bright prospect she'd appeared when placed in a listed bumper at this meeting last year when scoring in good style on her recent hurdling debut at Chepstow and it looks significant Harry Skelton has chosen her over Hitintheheadlines, who accounted for 4 next-time-out winners on his first go over hurdles at the aforementioned venue. Ferocimo cruised clear in the manner of an above-average novice at Fontwell and is a very interesting contender, too.
