      Verdict

      Light Angel is quite consistent but often proves hard to settle and he disappointed on his only previous run on ground with some give. Though this is a big drop in class, INCA MAN may have his measure as Paul Cole’s colt was staying on strongly behind Revestar at Lingfield. Salisbury winner Oleksander probably needs to up his game under a penalty but is capable of doing but Herodotus was beaten five lengths when runner-up over 7f here last month.
