Dandy's Angel gained her second course victory last weekend and has only been raised 2lb. She's won from much higher marks so should go close again. She was narrowly beaten by Irv here last summer and the revised weights just favour the winner. Dark Company is on a long losing run though ran a bit better from this mark at Carlisle. SUN FESTIVAL took advantage of favourable race conditions to land the odds at Brighton but had been in good form previously so looks the one to beat. Out Of Sight ran well at Bath but his only victory came on soft ground
