Exceedingly Diva returns to action having won over track and trip in August last year while Goodwood winner Thechildren'strust was only third here in October and has his first start since. Oneovdem is getting closer but his third at Leicester came over 5f and GREAT MIDGE is preferred. The latter showed he was going the right way when second at Doncaster last month and Henry Candy’s charge is fancied to go one better in this with any further progress.
