HEL'S ANGEL has done all her winning on fast ground so far but is worth chancing given today's modest opposition. Her latest win came over C&D in May and Ann Duffield's mare can confirm running on better terms with both Eijaaz and Relative Strength. Guga and Without Equal have both won handicaps recently, but have a bit to find with the selection on today's terms, while Lucayan Dancer would have a chance on his best form but appears to be on the downgrade nowadays.
