Verdict
ARRIVA LA DIVA is given the vote to win again while both Cheyenne Red and Igoyougo are worth noting. The selection made all to win a handicap at Ayr last month. She is now nine pounds higher in the weights but still looks good enough to win again. Cheyenne Red has over a stone more to carry which will make life tough. He won off a mark of 65 at Hamilton and is now only two pounds higher. He has shown consistency this season but may be out of his depth in this race. Igoyougo ran a personal best finishing second at Musselburgh on his seasonal reappearance. With further improvement to come he is sure to be in the shake-up. However, Arriva La Diva still takes preference.
