Verdict
CITY OF GOD, due to race off a 2 lb higher mark in future, can make amends having been denied by a fellow improving sort on handicap debut 10 days ago. Dividend caught the eye with a smooth-travelling victory at Kempton when last seen, he's feared ahead of San Juanito who may improve for the switch to handicaps.

VerdictCosily won 10-runner maiden at Southwell (8.1f) last month, always in command. Failed to justify favouritism when only narrowly beaten by another improver on handicap debut last month and he could well make amends racing off the same mark (due to race off 2lb higher in future).
