DUBAI DIVA can follow up a Lingfield success to account for Squirtle and Honorable Endeavour. Chris Wall's filly beat a useful type in Whaxaar at Lingfield and with just a 3lb rise for those labours, we are hopeful that she can go in again. Squirtle is a model of consistency and while infrequent as far as winning is concerned; he is sure to go close. Honorable Endeavour has placed off similar marks in the past and is one to note in the market. Ingenue was walloped for a recent effort at Lingfield to the tune of 13lb and that did not even come through a victory. Follow The Dream won a maiden handicap at Chepstow though has gone up subsequently for placing here in October. Baltimore Patriot had bits and pieces of form in Ireland prior to joining new connections and is noted in the betting ring. Dubai Diva can take the contest if progressing over the trip.
