Arafi landed a hat-trick of 7f victories with an easy success at Wolverhampton. But she’s upped in class and distance today having been raised a massive 13lb and ANGEL OF THE GLEN is preferred despite returning from an absence. The latter made a winning debut over today’s trip and was last seen in September landing a handicap in this grade at Thirsk. Toronado Queen went close again here recently and makes more appeal than Dandys Gold while Made In Italy is a novice winner having her first start since October.
