Verdict
Seven Lucky Seven has been threatening to get his head in front and finished just ahead of Imperator Augustus here last month with Black Dave further behind. Divine Call is not out of this either dropping down a grade but DARK LANE is preferred. The latter went very close at Lingfield during the week and can add to his previous four course wins off his current mark. Spowarticus is closely matched with Foie Gras on latest running at Kempton but neither threatened to catch the winner.
