Verdict

Divine Call won over 5f at Southwell last week and Fly True beat Moremoneymoreparty and Pindaric when successful over 6f at the same track last time. Both carry a penalty but have won on Polytrack before while Captain Ryan came up short dropped into this lowly grade at Kempton last time with Brother In Arms just behind in fourth. The latter also found LEGAL MIND too good at the same venue earlier when Emma Owen’s charge finished fourth and Eoin Walsh's mount gets the vote in this having slipped 10lb down the weights since the summer. Slipalongtrevaskis and Monarch Maid are others with a shout on recent form.
