    Verdict

    Osgood gained his first success on his 15th start at Ayr in October but that was on soft ground and he's unlikely to get those conditions here. Destiny Of A Diva was having her first start on turf when landing a Leicester handicap last month and the handicapper hasn't been hard on her with a 4lb rise and there's more to come. ZAPLAMATION, Monkton Vale and Tribal Myth all ran in a slightly higher grade handicap at Newcastle last time won by Rosbay. The former came out best and should do so again as he needs to be held up and Tom Eaves should have no problems extracting him in this small field. He finished behind Tribal Myth over the C&D on his previous start but the winner had the advantage of an earlier run. Nolecce appears better on the all-weather or on ground with some give but Tropical Duke is no forlorn hope despite being a couple of pounds out of the handicap.
