In depth

Verdict

Already beaten twice over course and distance and in handicaps, Eva’s Diva has become frustrating to follow and may find one too good again. Molly Ollys Wishes showed promise in a couple of runs last month and is a possibility while Pink Sheets won a Huntingdon bumper in May and has been highly tried in two outings since returning from a break. MISS HERITAGE has had wind surgery since second to a subsequent winner at Worcester In July. Also a bumper winner, she should have more to offer over timber and Maxime Tissier rides this tight track as well as anyone.
