In depth

Verdict

This looks even less competitive than the first division. Christopher Chua is still a maiden but has been knocking on the door lately and is unlikely to get an easier chance to break his duck. But the handicapper is finally showing TWO TURTLE DOVES a bit of mercy and the triple course and distance winner may be good enough to cash in today with Tim Clark taking off 5lb. Outbid won at Wolverhampton in March but she's gone backwards since and was behind Christopher Chua and Diamond Vine at Bath four weeks ago.
