      Verdict

      Divertimenti gets the confident vote here ahead of Racing Times and Ellcon. The selection was disappointing in his first start for his new trainer last time but he was quite well-backed that day and he is given another chance in this weak event. Racing Times has proved an expensive horse to follow and he again found one too good when chasing home Intersky Sports last time. He does not look the most genuine and we will take him on. Ellcon is interesting as she had been off the track for 572 days and was making her debut for a new stable when chasing home Fustaan last time. She is certainly worth a look in the market but Divertimenti should be good enough to land this and he gets our vote.
