ANGEL OF HARLEM is very consistent and ended the unbeaten record of High Jinx at Market Rasen last month. She is fancied to follow up that victory here with her mare’s allowance meaning she gets 7lb from Ffos Las winner Francky Du Berlais, who came off worst in what was a virtual match last time at Stratford and is trying this longer trip for the first time. Emma Lavelle’s stable is showing signs of life so Dollnamix may be best of the rest.
