Verdict

Wickywickywheels has been in tremendous form around here having already won three times on the track since May, including over the trip. She's up 9lb for an impressive latest success but still has to be a big threat to DIVINE JEWEL. Roger Varian's three-year-old was an easy winner of a handicap on Polytrack at Lingfield before chasing home Zain Nights over a slightly shorter trip at Newbury where she was staying on. Trojan Horse has been racing at a higher level since scoring on soft ground at Ripon in April and is by no means out of this while Zimmerman's lone success was also on soft going at Haydock so further rain would do his chances no harm.
