Verdict
Australian Angel is 3lb out of the handicap and hasn't run since September but won three races last summer and should be scoring again soon. Capital Theory has done all of his winning on the all-weather but is just 2lb higher than when scoring at Chelmsford last month. PRIDE OF PRIORY (NAP) completed a hat-trick when landing a Class 2 handicap at Ascot in August. He forfeited ground at the start in similar class at Kempton earlier this month and can make amends. Thundering's second in a heritage handicap at York in August would put him in the picture while Dark Jedi is unbeaten in two runs here.
