      Verdict

      Hillgrove Angel had Diatomic behind when second over 1m1f here last time but was beaten in a seller at Leicester previously. His trainer, David Evans, also runs last month's Chepstow winner Vita Mina but she finished last at Bath on her latest start. Redcar third North Bay Lady looks likely to appreciate the extended trip but PHILBA looks the one to be on. He was doing his best work at the finish over a mile at Sandown last time and starts off in a nursery on a decent mark.
