Ofaraby gave the impression that he would come on for the run when seventh of nine on his reappearance at Epsom and has to be respected from stall four but a chance is taken with Divine Gift, who has more solid claims on form but is not as well drawn and is preferred to Artistic Style. The last mentioned made a promising return in Kempton's Rosebery Handicap and should come on for the run. Focus Group is less exposed than most of these after just three career outings but would probably want a softer surface. Fairmile was entitled to need the run first time out and is another open to improvement, while Nice Tune has been running well on the all-weather of late but is now probably a shade high in the weights. Tiger Tiger is another that could do with some help from the handicapper and the vote goes to Divine Gift. Kevin Ryan could hardly have his string in better form right now and the selection is no exception having lost little in defeat on his return to turf at Epsom last time. A reproduction of that effort may suffice.
