Verdict
Van Dijk is penalised 5lb returning to this surface having won at Ayr while though Internationalangel debuted for a new yard with a second at Yarmouth, she has her first outing on the all-weather. CAP D’ANTIBES went close at this venue on his first start for Michael Wigham’s yard and came good over a mile at Chelmsford last month. He’s worth sticking with off today’s higher mark having slipped down the weights since trained in Ireland. Trepidation has a shout back over this longer trip and is preferred to Castle Quarter and All You Wish.
