Verdict

A trappy looking contest, with the Scottish-based handlers Keith Dalgleish and Iain Jardine both being doubly-represented. Stakes in this race should be kept to a minimum with the pre-race market perhaps offering the most relevant guide in terms of fitness and expectations. Kajaki makes the shortlist with his recent Pontefract fourth well advertised by the winner Archive since. However, we'll chance the filly and handicap debutante TOMORROW'S ANGEL who has shown a degree of ability on both the AW and over hurdles, and rates as an interesting prospect.
  1. Tomorrow's Angel
  2. Kajaki
  3. Maulesden May
