Burnt Sugar struggled in a couple of starts at Meydan last month but beat Fanciful Angel in a Group 3 at Kempton in September. However, Richard Hughes prefers stablemate Lexington Times in this despite the latter having plenty to find on today's terms. The progressive handicapper Four Seasons steps up in class along with Carry On Deryck and Caprior Bere but ANGELIC LORD is at home in this grade. He ran well in Group races at Ascot and Newmarket before ending last year with a win at Doncaster and Tom Dascombe's colt may well be up to landing this on his reappearance.
