New Abbey Angel has been well beaten in both previous tries over this trip but was staying on when second over 1m1f here last month. Kaisan has no stamina issues as he was second over 2m last time and beat Dibloam over 1m5f at Chelmsford before that. ROWLESTONERENDEZVU won over this trip at Ffos Las in July and she’s not been disgraced in three runs on the all-weather. Tony Carroll’s filly is slipping down the weights and must have some sort of chance in a race like this.
