Plenty of course-winning form though only the top pair have also won over the trip and Tooreen Angel is 3lb lower than her last winning mark. House Of Kings had run well over 2m last month and showed his versatility with a fine effort on Wednesday when just touched off over this trip with Dreams Delivered beaten a long way. NO SHOW has suddenly taken a liking to the surface having been narrowly beaten the last twice over the trip. He looks capable of another big run while Take My Hand scored over a mile here in November and ran a bit better than finishing position suggests over this trip on Wednesday. Lyra Belacqua is a potential improver over the trip and could do with a victory for the paddocks.
