Verdict

TOOK THE LOT quickly pulled clear once hitting the front on debut here last month and it’s unlikely a penalty will prevent a follow-up against more modest opposition. Eva's Diva was placed in Ireland before changing hands for £48,000 at the sales last month but she may take a while to accustom to new surroundings. Wbee’s second at Southwell was an improvement while Courteva looks the pick of the two newcomers with the champion doing the steering.
