In depth

Verdict

Gilded Moon won over a longer trip at Lingfield last week and is penalised while THE ANGELUS BELLE also carries 6lb extra for a recent victory over course and distance. But that was the latter’s first start in cheekpieces and with more to come in the headgear, she gets the vote to confirm latest running with third-placed Champagny. Mint Edition steps up in trip and is preferred of the rest.
