Imaginary Diva is 3lb higher than when successful at Brighton last month but was only beaten a short-head at Windsor nine days ago and there appears no reason why he won't go close here. Luisa Tetrazzini, Inde Country and Kwik Time all sport headgear for the first time with the former preferred of that trip on her best form. Colourbearer ran his best race so far when just beaten this trip at Chepstow last time but we prefer BRIAN SPROUT who was beaten in a seller last time but went close off a higher mark at Redcar in June and should have more scope than most of these.
