The front-running GLORIOUS ANGEL returns to the minimum trip having landed a double over longer distances at Southwell earlier in the month. A double penalty is reduced by Billy Loughnane’s allowance and the hat-trick looks a distinct possibility. Brownlee had the measure of Sugar Hill Babe when scoring over today’s trip at Southwell and is 5lb higher while Megan Moon isn’t out of this either making her handicap debut.
