      Verdict

      Diverting is now 24lb higher than when her winning run began and she could be worth taking on today. Tullius is only a couple of pounds higher than just beaten over C&D last month, however, and Crown Counsel is eased in grade and wouldn't be without a chance on his best form. But CRUISER was only beaten a head at Newmarket last time and deserves a change of luck. The Oasis Dream colt never seems to run a bad race and the uphill finish here will suit. Barney Rebel has ability but has a bit to prove coming back from a two-month break.
