Nothing leaps off the page so it might be worth chancing FASLIYANNE after a good run at Catterick earlier in the month; Angle Of Attack and Miss Daawe may be the best of the rest. Kevin Ryan's filly only has one win to her name from 26 starts but she shaped as if a second win was near last time out. The handicapper has perhaps harshly put her up 3lbs for that but she still looks feasibly treated. Angle Of Attack is better than he could show at Pontefract last time, Lujiana needs a market check as she edges back down to a nice mark, whilst Miss Daawe's recent run behind Cornus reads well in the context of this race. Socceroo has been off for ages, so a bigger threat may be course and distance winner Darcy's Pride who should strip fitter for a recent Redcar spin. Fashion Icon and King Of Eden are considered, however in an open race it is Fasliyanne who gets the nod.
