Arthur's Angel failed to improve on an earlier length defeat here when returning a beaten favourite at Lingfield. Pop Favorite, Sognatore and Blu Boy all need to step up on recent handicap debut efforts while SILVER BUBBLE goes handicapping for the first time. The latter finished third in a maiden at Chelmsford last month when ahead of Pina Collada and may prove good enough in what looks something of a lottery with Headora and Kalma others to note on their reappearances.
