A half-sister to a couple of winners, it would be no surprise to see a big improvement in Lismore now she’s stepped up in trip. Decora has placed twice, once on Tapeta, and Pawpaw was second on his handicap debut over course and distance. DIVA KAREEM is a tentative selection as she is bred for this trip and she arguably ran her best race so far on Polytrack and Kempton a year ago. A pipe-opener at Yarmouth should have blown away any cobwebs.
