Shadow Warrior won at Windsor recently and is only 2lb higher while several others were placed on their latest outings. Majestic Moon and Apex King finished runners-up over today’s trip at Yarmouth and Kempton respectively while Dark Alliance was second over 7f at Lingfield. Poetic Force and Buzz Lightyere are upped in class but BRONZE ANGEL has been competing in better company than this and posted his best effort of the season so far at Windsor last time. He slips further down the weights today and could go close to ending a long losing run.
