Verdict

This is no easier than the first division with most arriving out of form. Roter Baron gained his two victories to date on this track in March and had a long break before returning with a poor run at Tipperary. Political Policy hasn't won since the spring of last year but has slipped to a lowly mark as a consequence, though an absence since February is a concern. Lonan's only victory to date came on this track though that was back in March 2013 and though Coach Bombay scored over 1m4f here in May he finished tailed off over hurdles last month. MAGIA DEL CORSO has only had six starts to date and has never raced on the surface. She's one of the few here who looks capable of making some progress so is handed a tentative vote.
