Aegean Mist won a handicap over 6f here before landing a novices race but is 10lb higher today and RETICENT ANGEL is preferred. The latter made a winning start in handicaps when scoring over the minimum trip at Chelmsford and Clive Cox’ filly is taken to defy a 5lb rise in the weights. Shining has been threatening to score having suffered a couple of narrow-margin defeats recently and should be in the mix once again while Ginvincible went close here in between modest efforts and Turf and Sandridge Lad won over today’s trip at Chelmsford last month.
