In depth
Verdict
Molly's A Diva finished almost two lengths ahead of Brantingham Breeze and more than four lengths ahead of the trail-blazing Indian Stream when making a winning debut at Ffos Las but she had an alternative engagement yesterday at Huntingdon. We prefer TONVADOSA, who easily justified favouritism in heavy ground at Towcester and looks a nice prospect. August Hill should improve for her second at Taunton in December while Warren Greatrex's Kayf Tara mare Tamarina Bay looks the pick of the three newcomers on breeding and should be monitored in the betting.
