Verdict

Gioia Di Vita, successful over 2m here in May, made a bold bid to defy his penalty over a longer trip at Fontwell. He looks to be improving and has the beating of Royal Battalion and the four-year-old To Begin but is rated 9lb lower than SHE'S LATE. Jonjo O'Neill's gelding hasn't sparkled on the Flat since easily winning a handicap at Warwick in April but should get back on track here. Cochinillo's second at Southwell received a boost when the winner followed up here under a penalty next time and he should be competitive.
