      Verdict

      GIVEN CHOICE (NAP) continued her good progress when scoring by five lengths over 1m6f at Wolverhampton recently. She’ll likely face a hike in the weights in the future but can defy a penalty today with the longer trip looking within her compass. Dalileo also won easily at Wolverhampton last time but that was in a lowly seller and Diocletian is preferred dropping down in class and stepping up in distance. Sunblazer returned a losing favourite over track and trip last month but still finished in front Champagne Champ while Navajo Star went close in a lower grade when last seen over course and distance.
