Verdict
Dickie Le Davoir and Bermondsey Bob were both engaged at Leicester yesterday and more interesting is Divine Call, who had both last week's course winner Ginzan and Diamond Vine behind when winning over track and trip last month. Divine Call's trainer, Milton Bradley, has three in this, however, and SOLE DANSER could be the one to be on. He's only managed a single victory on the Polytrack so far but his last two runs on Turf have been a lot more encouraging and he has a nice draw here in comparison to his stablemates. Wooden King likes it here and can't be ignored while Mount Hollow went close at Haydock last month and 7lb claimer Jack Duern is back on board.
