Authorizo, a winner in France and Ireland, was racing in Class 3 and 4 handicaps during the summer so this is a big drop in class. Ingenuity has been well beaten in most starts over timber but was narrowly beaten in a Bath handicap last month and has Richard Johnson in the saddle. DARIYA easily won a seller over an extra 2f here before landing a Class 5 handicap at Newton Abbot. She couldn't handle another step-up in grade at Warwick but looks the one to beat as Eva's Diva looks to have gone backwards.
