Verdict

SLIPSTREAM ANGEL had no problems with the heavy ground on her debut at Newcastle and showed a willing attitude to collar the more experienced Opt Out close home. That wasn't a strong maiden but the runner-up had a rating of 72 so Richard Fahey's filly looks well treated here off a mark of 66 and can take advantage of the 10lb she receives from Projectile, who won over this trip at Redcar before finding the competition too hot in the Queen Mary at Ascot. Secret Destination won on the soft at Carlisle and is preferred to the one-paced Super Simon and All On Red, whose limitations have been exposed lately.
