Verdict

DIVINE COMEDY progressed nicely upon joining Harry Eustace last season, winning 3 times, and shaped encouragingly with a view to stepping back up in trip when third at Doncaster (11.9f) 4 weeks ago. She shades the vote to confirm her mark still a workable one. Nothing To Sea has been absent since last summer but was progressing well and he's feared now his stamina is tested further. Zimmerman and Law of The Sea are others fancied to be in the mix.

  1. DIVINE COMEDY (IRE)
  2. NOTHING TO SEA (GER)
