Verdict

Begging Bowl showed some ability at Newcastle last summer but might need this. Breaking Records’ saddle slipped at Lingfield so that run is best ignored but he’s undoubtedly shown his best form so far on Polytrack and dropping back a furlong may not be in his favour. ANGELS was still a little green on her second start at Ripon but still ran out an easy winner and she looks a filly with a future on that evidence.
