Angels Landing is often placed but is just 1-26 in career starts. Canadiansmokeshow has gone backwards since a couple of promising runs at Newmarket last July but there may be more to come from the other three-year-olds. FLIGHT OF ANGELS led for a long way at Redcar two weeks ago and will strip fitter today so is preferred to Pontefract second Ragosina and Purnika, who has form at the track.
