Verdict
Astrozone was beaten at Musselburgh last time but has won on his last couple of visits to this venue while Another Angel beat Be Proud over track and trip in between his more usual moderate efforts. Young Tiger and Buniann are course and distance winners, though the latter has to race off a 5lb higher mark back on this surface, while Lady Nectar’s earlier double came over 6f on Turf. SUMMIT FEVER won his maiden at Lingfield in August and ran well attempting to make all at Sandown last month on only his second start in a handicap. Ed Walker’s charge may prove good enough with more to come from him.
