Verdict
This is a poor contest in terms of quality featuring runners that do not win very often but there are five course and distance winners in the line up and the vote goes to one of those DENTON DIVA, who won here in November and is taken to give weight away all round for Michael Dods, with the main threats rated as Majestic Lady and Pepin. The last mentioned looks the better of the two runners in the race trained by Derek Haydn Jones ahead of Monte Mayor Eagle and he has run well here in three of his last four starts, including when successful in a handicap in May. David Arbuthnot's Leelu is less exposed than most of these after just nine starts but he remains a maiden, while River Dee has struggled since winning a seller on his second start as a juvenile and has yet to confirm that he handles the Fibresand. The Barry Hills-trained Majestic Lady is similarly lightly raced after just five career starts and he has to be considered but, in a poor contest, Denton Diva makes most appeal.
