In depth
Verdict
Divya placed over a shorter trip at Yarmouth last month and Major Major is also upped in trip having completed a double on the Turf in August. Richard P Smith has a shout if lasting home on the back of recent placed efforts but WORLD WITHOUT LOVE is proven over the distance having scored over 1m6f on the Polytrack during the summer and should go close dropping down in class.
