        Verdict

        A chance is taken the progressive DIVINE COMEDY stays this far. She’s won three times over 1m6f including at Nottingham last month. The veteran Rainbow Dreamer is hard to catch right but is still capable of winning in this grade but it’s been some time since Sleeping Lion last won a handicap. Vino Victrix is finally back on a winning mark while Enemy posted his best effort for a while at Southwell recently.
