Mereside Angel has found only one too good in a couple of previous runs over course and distance and a case can certainly be made for Dandy Dinmont in this grade. Zuffolo has won at Thirsk and Redcar but is hard to catch right while Aconcagua Mountain’s wins have all come at a lower level. Castan looked to be coming to hand at Redcar but Annie Maher remains winless and is having a first run for a new yard. LOCH CARRON (NAP) has had excuses in both runs since impressing on her reappearance at Ayr and she gets another chance here dropped 2lb since an unlucky run over 6f at Chelmsford.
