In depth
Verdict
Richard Hughes is literally busting a gut to catch up with Kieren Fallon in the Jockey's Championship and he teams up with John Hills to provide the Teamtalk nightcap selection. High Diva ran a fair race to be second at Lingfield Park last time out and this lightly raced daughter of Piccolo should take a hand in things this evening. She previously showed her ability to handle the track when second in a maiden contest at the back end of last season at the track. Fallon rides Tantric in opposition tonight. A winner at the course, he is in good form since returning from a summer break but the suspicion is that he is plenty high enough in the handicap. On Guard was something of a standing dish here when trained by Norma Macauley and will need to recapture his best form to land this event. Of the remainder, Jewel of Troyes makes some appeal at big odds on her all-weather debut.
