Verdict

TANKARDSTOWN DIVA shaped well, particularly with a view to stepping back up in trip, when fifth in a big-field handicap at Galway (16.6f) 4 weeks ago and, remaining the type to do better still in handicaps, she makes a good deal of appeal here. My Policy and Pettigo can emerge as the lead threats, along with Andys Flame.
