      Verdict

      Knightfire, Stonecrabstomorrow and Lithaam are all struggling for form at present. The Tatling usually finds at least one too good these days and Straboe is best at Wolverhampton. Prolific all-weather winner Spic 'N Span has yet to win in 24 starts on turf and so this looks an excellent opportunity for IMAGINARY DIVA. She's gone close on her last two starts off today's mark including a second over C&D last month and George Margarson's mare should have no trouble going one better in this company.
