DOVEDON ANGEL disappointed when favourite for a similar contest at Southwell last time but Gay Kelleway's filly is probably better suited by the Polytrack and is now back on a winning mark. Blackstone Vegas is another to consider as he was staying on strongly at the finish when third over 1m2f here at the start of last month. Covert Mission has never won on the all-weather but is not without ability and will be all the better for a spin over hurdles last month. Iguacu, a C&D winner, missed the break at Lingfield on Monday and shouldn't be written off just yet but has been climbing the weights again lately.
