GIFTED ANGEL does have the benefit of previous experience and Tom Dascombe's charge will be a popular order in a bid to defy the penalty accrued for his Stratford success. Majestic Jameela was of little account on the Flat though the market has been keen to be with Stuart Edmunds' filly in the past. Balboa was winless in five starts for Jamie Osborne but Milton Harris has shown time and time again that he is capable of finding improvement from his recruits and the hood is applied today in an effort to do so.
