Angel Of Darkness, Circulate and Wonderful Life all drop down in distance. The latter arrives out of form and has to give plenty of weight to the younger horses while Angel Of Darkness is Ryan Moore’s only ride on the card and ran well over 7f at Kempton last time. Circulate returned a disappointing favourite recently so a chance is taken on ZILZA showing further improvement after keeping on well for fourth over track and trip a fortnight ago. She’s preferred to stablemate Sarrab and the other newcomer, Bastia.
