Diviner has won over 5f here and was placed over today’s trip in October but Isango steps up in distance having placed over 6f on a couple of occasions. Engrossed won over track and trip in December and is preferred to the more-exposed Arctic Spirit, handicapping for the first time, but Laxmi should be sharper for a comeback fourth at Lingfield last month and could go well. But the same comment also applies to VENTURA GLORY, doing her best work in the closing stages at Kempton recently on her first outing since September - Richard Hannon’s filly may prove best in this with improvement expected.
