DAINTY DIVA escapes a penalty for her six-length victory in a conditionals' event at Fontwell. That was her first win in 15 attempts over timber but this is no better with likely danger Bowdler's Magic proving generally frustrating under both codes and winless since scoring on Polytrack more than three years ago. Ennisnag is a long-standing maiden but she's not been beaten far in her last three. Running Wolf is preferred to fellow returnees Iron Butterfly and Calin Du Brizais of the others.
