Never Dark won at Hamilton recently and has scored on Tapeta in the past while Lil Guff went close at Sandown and May Sonic found only one too good at Newbury.

But ANGLE LAND showed signs of a return to form when runner-up at Goodwood and it could be his turn today with Frankie Dettori doing the steering.
