Winner of eight races in total including a handicap over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton on the AW last month. Has since finished third over 1m1f at Goodwood (good) and likely to run well once more.

7/1
Maiden after five starts including three for this stable. Finished tenth of 13 over this distance at Beverley (good-to-firm) last time out and others make more appeal in this.

15/8
Winner at Leicester over 1m2f on good-to-firm ground in April and finished a close third at Chepstow (good-to-soft) subsequently. Finished fourth on good-to-soft ground the last twice and the forecast better ground here is likely to suit.

Sole success came on the AW here 13 months ago. Beaten a neck over 1m2f at Brighton (good) on his penultimate outing but well held on good-to-soft over the same C&D subsequently.

6/1
12 race maiden and well beaten in handicap company in both starts since joining this stable. Has placed off higher marks in the past but others look more likely here.

Forecasts

Angelical (15/8), Betsalottie (9/4), Gabrial The Thug (5/1), Golden Isles (6/1), Great Return (7/1)

Verdict

ANGELICAL won on good-to-firm ground at Leicester in April and has been running well enough on softer surfaces since to suggest that with the forecast quicker ground tonight she can claim a second career success. Of the selections rivals Gabrial The Thug wears cheekpieces for the first time tonight having finished third at Goodwood last time out while Betsalottie can claim third.
