Virgin Soldier looked a horse to follow this term when he bolted up at Stratford. He confirmed that impression when he followed up at Bangor off a 6lb higher mark and although raised a further 5lbs here, that doesn't look enough to stop him. Diva will need to learn to settle if she is to progress, while Bering Gifts is not one to rely on, so it may be left to Dihatjum to provide the main threat.
