Molly's A Diva, entered at Wincanton yesterday, dead-heated for first in a novice event at Warwick on her third start this season. She's upped in trip along with Theatrebar, beaten only a nose at Huntingdon and raised 6lb for his trouble. Tarabela won nicely at Exeter and is a leading contender with a 7lb penalty cancelled out by a conditional's allowance, though she was also due to run yesterday at Wincanton. American Life has been unlucky not to get his head in front having recorded a string of placed efforts recently but PHAR ISLE gets the nod as though he unseated last time but he had earlier ran well in a higher grade handicap at Towcester on heavy ground.
