DISPOL GRAND has to give weight away all round but is in good form, handles cut in the ground and he is taken to defy his mark and take the honours, getting the verdict ahead of Imaginary Diva and Cocktail Party. The last mentioned has shown improved form since being sent into nurseries and racing on softer ground and the John Hills-trained filly can be expected to be thereabouts again. Rod Millman's Assent and Simon Callaghan's Spiritual Art have had the three runs necessary to get a handicap mark and now make their debuts in a nursery but neither looks to be particularly well treated. Compton Ford may be worth another chance on a soft surface despite having been well held on his debut on good to soft ground but a bigger threat may come from George Margarson's Imaginary Diva, who looks to be going the right way. This is a moderate contest and a chance is taken with Dispol Grand, who is taken to give weight away all round.
