      Verdict

      Ghadbbaan won over 1m4f early last year so the drop back in trip won’t faze Mark Walford’s charge, who looks the only possible danger to likely hot favourite DIVINE COMEDY. Harry Eustace’s mare, who won over this trip at Redcar last year, scored by 11 lengths at Doncaster last Saturday and will be 7lb higher in the weights from next week. Tio Mio can chase home the aforementioned pair.
