        In depth

        Verdict

        Bold Diva should make a bold bid to complete her hat-trick but Regal Veil is taken to reverse Kempton form; of the remainder, Wynberg would be of interest if the vibes are positive. The selection was half a length in front of Little Finch when two and a half lengths behind Bold Diva, who's since won again, but was giving Tony Carroll's runner 8lbs that day. The revised weights give her an obvious chance of reversing the form whilst it was also her first start since October so she's entitled to improve for the run. A case can be made for Weetfromthechaff but she hasn't always looked to be the easiest ride whilst Wynberg has a bit to prove but isn't discounted. The vote, though, goes to Regal Veil.
