Three-year-old shave won both previous renewals and ANGELICAL DANCER (NAP) can continue the trend. He proved a shade disappointing at Chelmsford last time but had gone close over 1m2f here on his earlier debut and gets plenty of weight from Sarmadee. The latter failed to land the odds over a mile at Lingfield last month but the winner has since landed a handicap. Biodynamic and Sky of Stars are likely improvers while bumper winner Princess Roania makes her debut in this code and could go well.
