In depth
Verdict
A good run from Lalania in the previous race would be a pointer to the chances of Divine Magic while Arabic Charm was in good form in the first half of the year and Sean Kirrane takes off a handy 5lb but NEBULOSA didn’t get the run of the race at Goodwood last month and is a pound lower here. Stablemates Karuoka and Alezan look closely matched but the latter will be carrying overweight.
