Wide Receiver has struggled badly since winning over C&D in February while Orion Star is probably best watched on his first start since November and this may be a shade too far for Lansdowne Princess. Absolute Shambles disappointed when favourite at Plumpton last month, but there are possibilities about Whatever Next and Stratford winner Katalak. Preference, however, is for HERALD ANGEL, who usually goes well around here and was only beaten a short-head over C&D off this mark 12 days ago.
