Sayem came here earlier this month for a slightly lower-class handicap and took advantage of ground with some give to gain a hard-fought victory. She has a bit more to do here but should have more to offer and she's only 3lb higher. Canberra Cliffs has won twice this season and though both victories were over 1m2f she has the pace for this as she was caught right on the line over that trip at Pontefract last week. ANGEL'S QUEST has only had four races and made a fine start in handicaps at Newmarket last month when just failing to make all over this trip. She can improve again and go one better though Blushing Rose looked ready to win again soon when failing to get the run of the race at Chelmsford where she was well supported.
