Wentworth Falls is eased in grade while Gunmetal can probably be forgiven his effort in Class 2 company at Newmarket having won previously at Doncaster. Music Society was staying on over 5f at Beverley so a return to this trip will suit while Rathbone slips further down the ratings and is now on a lower mark than when successful two years ago at Leicester on fast ground. SPANISH ANGEL’s fourth at Newcastle earlier this month can be upgraded as he was making smooth headway when badly hampered. That was his first run for Ruth Carr and his shrewd handler can place him to good effect this year.
