The previously consistent Qeethaara ran a shocker at Kempton on Wednesday without any apparent excuse and Abigails Angel makes more appeal. She's chasing a hat-trick after a couple of victories over 1m2f and today's shorter trip won't be much of an inconvenience. METHAYEL was denied her treble when only fourth at Kempton in November, but Clive Brittain's filly had scored twice at Brighton before that and may have improved in the interim. She gets the nod as both Isdaal and Polar Auroras need to step up on their recent placed efforts to figure in this better contest.
