In depth

Verdict

Angle Of Attack can land this under his 6lb penalty. A recent course winner over five furlongs on his last start, he showed good pace throughout in that contest and the return to six furlongs should not inconvience him. Katie Boo is now 4lb better off with Angle Of Attack for finishing second behind Alan Brown's charge. Alan Berry's mare does not look to hold anything on the handicapper though. Lucayos remains attractively handicapped on the best of his form while Makshoof is versatile with regard to ground conditions and is competitive off his current mark. Should the market speak in favour of Grazeon Gold Blend it would make him of some interest but in a wide open heat Angle Of Attack is the selection.
