Not the easiest finale for punters and a chance taken with the lightly-raced MERESIDE DIVA. She's been absent since last summer but progressed nicely in her three juvenile runs, culminating in a Musselburgh success which suggested she will appreciate this step-up to a sixth furlong. Hopefully, she will be fully tuned-up and Ben Curtis is a good booking. We'renotreallyhere stuck on well to land a first career success last time and should remain competitive off a mark still 7lb below his career-high rating. There are quite a few others too for which a decent case can be made, but the two who make most appeal for shortlist inclusion are Cinque Verde and More Than A Grey, both of who are lightly-raced and have suggested that a Class 6 handicap such as this is within their capabilities.
