Verdict
It was soft going when Mecca's Angel went close at Thirsk on her debut and she has leading claims if proving as effective on today's surface. But there are no doubts concerning the ground as regards CLASSICAL DIVA and Declan Carroll's filly gets the nod after she was caught close home at Redcar on her introduction. Abisko is another with every chance back on fast going on the evidence of her debut third at Newcastle and Alpine Flower is expected to improve on last week's four length defeat at Beverley.
