Angels Antics is comfortably the pick on official ratings and her neck second in a Haydock Listed contest is the stand-out form. She's been out of her class in recent starts but faces a couple of progressive types here and WITH DISCRETION can have her measure. Nicky Henderson's mare was making her debut under Rules and looked in need of experience when scoring at Towcester where there looked much more to come. Pineapple Rush is another making solid progress and she made a very promising start over timber at Sedgefield where she was always travelling well. Phoeniciana took advantage of very testing conditions to win easily at Towcester and could only be considered if more rain arrives while Drill Baby Drill looks in need of further.
