Verdict

Not an easy contest to solve. Dusky Legend looks the one to beat on form but this heavy ground levels the playing field out a bit, and neither Hitherjacques Lady nor ANGELS ANTICS should be dismissed despite having a bit to find on form. Preference is for the latter, who looks to be improving, handles the ground fine, and ran the useful Cap Soleil close at Haydock last time. She doesn't need to find much more to challenge for top honours here. Midnight Jazz might have been interesting on better ground, but may find this too slow.
