Verdict
Angel Face looked to be in trouble when falling at Doncaster when last seen but Shine Away was tracking the eventual winner when taking a tumble at Sedgefield last month and an earlier second to Actinpieces at Catterick has worked out well. Knocklayde Sno Cat was in touch when coming to grief three out at Ayr last month and will be a threat to all if by-passing an engagement at that track yesterday but LATE NIGHT LILY gets the nod. Dan Skelton's mare has been a beaten favourite twice in a row but should have enough to get off the mark eased in grade as she holds Two Smokin Barrels on a line through Song Saa.
