Verdict

MIRAMICHI has won previously at Newbury and is the sort that has been shouldering big weights in handicaps. He was ahead of Frontispiece when the pair met here last month and can confirm running. Divine Jewel has campaigned exclusively against other fillies so far and Roger Varian now gives her a chance against the boys. Yarralumla shapes as if she will stay this trip while Vaynor arrives on a hat-trick bid having won lesser races decisively at Bath and Newmarket.
