Chagall had the measure of Star Of Epsom when successful over 1m2f here last month while Angel On High won over the same distance at Brighton in September. Lost In Time scored over track and trip recently though it took 17 attempts to open his account on the all-weather and MIRABELLO BAY (NAP) is preferred. The latter was winning over today’s distance off an 8lb higher mark back in March and returned to form with a placed effort here last time in first-time blinkers.
