BOND ANGEL (NAP) beat Majestic Moon three lengths over course and distance recently with Muqarred further behind in third. She looks capable of defying a 5lb rise in the weights on that evidence and David Evans’ filly can go in again. Course regular Sooqaan has been in good form over 7f here recently though has won over today’s trip in the past but Me Too Nagasaki will need to step up on his effort at the track on New Year’s Day when well beaten on his first start on Fibresand. Fire Diamond is preferred to Reshaan as both debut on the surface.
