In depth

Verdict

Another Angel landed a course and distance double before beaten at Wolverhampton while Madam Devious beat Gleaming Arch in novice company here recently. Roaring Rory went close over track and trip last time and Kibaar finished in front of Windforpower when scoring at the track last month. Casterbridge was ahead of Gamesome when runner-up at Redcar earlier and Cameo Star is not out of this either but with so many alternatives a speculative vote goes to the unexposed DEBAWTRY. She won at Musselburgh last year and was having her first start since when third to Madam Devious here on her debut for John Balding.
