Global Style is 0-13 but fairly consistent and has placed twice already this year. Bond Angel has also proved reliable since the turn of the year but reserves her best for artificial surfaces. First Quest won over hurdles in January and has won on the Flat on Turf so can probably be forgiven his run on the all-weather last month. PILOT WINGS failed to win in seven runs for Roger Charlton last year but again showed ability on his first start for new connections at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day. He’s had a break since and must have a chance in a race like this off a mark of 70. The former William Haggas inmate Sweet Nature is having her first run on Turf, however.
