Divine Comedy has been off the track since landing a double with an easy success at Haydock back in May. A hike in the weights is reduced by an apprentice’s allowance and she should figure again but TAJANIS (NAP) is expected to improve for this extra distance given he doing his best work in the closing stages over 1m4f at Newmarket on his handicap debut and the Haggas charge gets the vote. Sailing On is another open to improvement upped in trip but Imaginary World ran below par when tried over today’s distance earlier.
