TRUSTY RUSTY ended last year with a cosy win over course and distance. She beat a previous winner in a higher grade on that occasion and can go in again despite a 5lb rise. Angle Land scored at Wolverhampton last time and will likely run her race again while Miss Belladonna finished in front of the front-running Jeans Maite when runner-up over track and trip and is preferred to Pepper Streak, who is upped in class. Snow Berry went close at Yarmouth last summer and has her first start since.
