2/1

C&D winner on good ground off this mark in early May and put a couple of disappointing efforts behind him when finishing 3L fifth of 13 at Chelmsford on the AW over this trip last time. Interesting runner off top weight today.

14/1

Winning for the fourth time in 30 starts when successful over 1m4f on the AW at Lingfield in February. Races off a 3lb higher mark here and drops markedly in trip today.

Repercussion²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 89

3/1

Sole victory came over 1m1f at Clairefontaine (good) as a three-year-old when with Andre Fabre in 2016. Failed to trouble the judge in four starts for this yard and handicap mark is slipping as a result. Drops in trip here.

Form: 12-6076

(3)

Angel Down²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Dane O'Neill| T: H Candy| OR: 81| C

5/2

Victorious over 7f at Newmarket (good-to-soft) at the end of June and ran well when finishing third of eight at the same course the following month. Tackling 1m for the first time on that occasion and one to note in this contest.

Form: 10-6713

Forecasts

Secret Art (2/1), Angel Down (5/2), Repercussion (3/1), Highland Colori (6/1), Afonso De Sousa (14/1)

ANGEL DOWN the sole three-year-old in this 1m contest can register his third career victory by seeing off his four rivals today. The selection was making his first start over today's trip when finishing third last time and can defeat Afonso De Sousa who was a winner over 1m4f last time out but has run well over this distance in the past. Of the remainder Highland Colori can reverse May's running with Secret Art in the race to claim third today.
