Victory Angel was well ahead of Paddy Power at Beverley nine days ago. Slowmo was a fair fourth at Wolverhampton last week and is potentially well treated back on Turf but this can go to the returning CONGA (NAP). She showed much-improved form when successful at Hamilton in the autumn and there is probably more to come this year. Ugo Gregory is another likely improver but Tukhoom has only raced over this trip once before and was well beaten.
