Verdict

IMAGINARY DIVA is holding her form well and looks the safest option. She's won three of her last five starts, handles soft ground and is dropped in class after scoring at Yarmouth last month. Commandingpresence was winning for only the second time when successful at Salisbury recently but should be thereabouts once again while Highland Harvest is not out of this, though he'll need to step up on his latest effort over 7f here to figure. It's been over a year since Cape Royal last won, but the veteran went very close at Chepstow last week with stablemate The Tatling well behind.
