EXALTED ANGEL found one too good in this grade over track and trip last month with Marnie James back in third.

The latter had earlier beaten Lihou at Lingfield while Thegreatestshowman races from out of the weights upped in class for this and Mulzim has proven best on the former Fibresand surface at Southwell so far.
