Verdict

ANGEL LANE has leading claims on recent form having won two of her last three starts on the Fibresand. She was successful over today’s trip before scoring over 1m3f last time and can continue her good progress. Argus recorded his earlier course win over 1m6f though represents last year’s winning yard while Cosmelli won this in 2018 and is back on a similar mark. Blowing Dixie and Rasaasy have both been beaten elsewhere on the all-weather since scoring over track and trip with the latter looking more favourably handicapped back on this surface.
