Verdict
Despite only finishing ninth of 11 at Newmarket, Global Revival wasn't entirely disgraced and that experience will stand him in good stead here. The form looks better than Masquerade Bling's second at Brighton. Chelmsford sixth Baby Gal may improve for the extra furlong while Equity is worth a market check on debut. But another newcomer, ANGEL'S ACCLAIM, gets the nod. A £29,000 yearling, she's related to several winning sprinters and wouldn't need to be anything special to score at the first time of asking.
