    Verdict

    Orbaan landed a valuable handicap over a mile at Goodwood last week having been beaten by Gweedore at Ayr earlier while Epsom Faithfull won over a shorter trip here last month having earlier finished behind Bowman at Epsom. Crazy Luck’s earlier double came over 6f but DIVINE MAGIC has been in good form over today’s distance. A winner at Leicester before going close at Newmarket, she should make a bold bid partnered by Takeshi Yokoyama, one of Japan’s leading riders.
