Verdict

Bond Angel has won eight times here including this contest in 2019. But she found TILSITT too good over track and trip in February when the latter wore a tongue-tie for the first time and Ivan Furtado’s charge can defy a hike in the weights with more to come. The latter’s stablemate Straitouttacompton and Star Of St James both landed doubles at the track earlier in the year and are not out of this while Curtiz has been gelded and won at Lingfield since last racing on the Fibresand and is another to consider.
