Verdict
GRANITA posted her best effort so far when runner-up at Southwell. She can come out best if translating that form back to this surface. Dark Illustrator also went close when second at Wolverhampton last week ahead of Falcon's Fire and that looks stronger form than the placed effort of Divine Touch at Southwell. Frap is more exposed but scored off a similar mark at Leicester last year while Daydream finished just ahead of More Kudos at Lingfield last time without threatening the winner.
