Eternal Instinct's run in the previous race will be a pointer to the chances of Arriva La Diva, second to her over C&D last time. Linda Perratt's handicappers are always worth a second look here and Paul Hanagan takes the ride. Sandwith has fallen to an attractive mark but finished behind Lees Anthem and DOWER GLEN at Musselburgh on his latest start. Keith Dalglish's filly only landed a seller at that track in May but is a consistent sort, which is more than can be said for most of her rivals here. She can return to winning ways.
