Formscan - A very competitive contest sees a chance taken on MERESIDE DIVA, who won with something in hand on her latest outing over 7f at Haydock and a repeat of that effort would see her go close once again. David and Nicola Barron's charge has been raised just 3lb in the ratings which could prove lenient today. Riot was a comfortable winner over C&D last time and he commands respect, despite carrying top weight after going up 6lb for that success, although Craven, who finished third on that occasion, could reverse that form on much better terms. The hat-trick seeking Northcliff should also be thereabouts, while Extrication could feature on his handicap bow.
