Little formto go on sothe market should reveal plenty Hugo Palmer’s juveniles are in excellent form so his well-related Dark Angel filly CALIFORNIAN ANGEL is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of fellow newcomer Primal, who is also bred to be well above average. Menhaal was sent off odds on when seventh on his recent Newbury debut and could emerge as the pick ofthose with experience with better expected here.

PLAY SMARTER
RUN THIS WAY has been revitalised since being fitted with blinkers and remaining well treated on old form, Paul Midgley’s 8-y-o gets the verdict to bring up the hat-trick over Hint of The Jungle, who may have to settle for a third silver medal on the spin provided he can translate his recent form back to turf. Ishe Worth Agamble can edge out Fancy Dancer for third.
