Verdict

Understory has found life tough back on the turf since scoring at Kempton in April, though Destiny Of Diva is not easily dismissed racing off a 4lb higher mark than when winning over C&D on her penultimate start. Shabak Hom also has claims back over today's longer trip but the vote goes to top weight OSGOOD. He ran well on his reappearance at Beverley a fortnight ago and can effectively race off a lower mark today, with the smart apprentice Charlie Bishop taking 7lb off his back, than when scoring at Ayr last year.
