This is no better than the previous division but DIAMOND JILL was beaten less than a length over track and trip in October and that’s the best recent form on offer. Rania won here recently but that was over 7f and she’s yet to race over this far while we may not have seen the best of Nuble yet and a tongue-tie is added to her usual headgear. Levendi is another open to improvement as he steps up in trip on only his second start handicapping.
