SOMETHINGABOUTANGELA was all out to hold on over 3m at Perth but a slipping saddle in the closing stages didn’t help. She should be perfectly at home over this shorter trip on this much stiffer track and can defy a 7lb rise to complete the double. Slainte Mhor should leave his hurdles form behind now switched to fences but, like Empire De Maulde, lacks a recent run. Jimmy Rabbitte has left Richard Newland after another disappointing performance in a claimer and is best watched on his first run for new connections.
