This looks tricky as Salariaq, Aared and Art World make their debuts on the track though the latter had a couple of runs at Wolverhampton for Brian Ellison. Rose Angel has won four times in her career, all over this track and trip, though never from a mark this high. Daniel Redmond's claim will aid her cause and she should get into the frame. Shannon Soul won here as a two-year-old but disappointed in his second season and hasn't run since August nor has Beau Satchel, who was only just touched off by The Dancing Lord in this last year though is 6lb higher. A line through that winner gives SO SENSIBLE a real chance at these weights and Tracey Collins' charge, whose two recent runs were over 7f, can take this under Pat Smullen, who has been on board for both career victories.
