Among Angels and Assault On Rome won their maiden races in soft going but the latter is one of the more exposed. Popeswood has also had plenty of chances while Honey Required only won a seller at Newmarket last time and faces much higher-rated opposition in this. A chance is taken that SISTER OF MERCY handles the surface as she looks capable of better making her handicap debut having opened her account at Salisbury last time. Great Park and Looking Good have scope for improvement stepping up in trip for this.
