Verdict
All of these step up in distance but Perfect Play beat a subsequent winner when scoring at Chelmsford a fortnight ago. DIVINA GRACE won a Newmarket maiden before struggling in Group 3 company at the same track and she gets the vote handicapping for the first time. Forceful Speed has gone the wrong way since his debut though should be sharper for last month’s comeback while Manifested is preferred to Eagle Prince of the rest.
