Verdict

DIXIELAND DIVA made a very promising debut a year ago when beaten narrowly at Newmarket while Forward Thinker also returns from a long break having caught the eye at HQ in October. Both should be winning soon with preference for the former while Gratified comes here race-fit having run well at Yarmouth earlier this month after which he has changed stables. Copilot has been showing pace before fading, a remark that also applied to Dazzling Diamond's run at Windsor.
