9st 9lb |
Has won five races up to 1m1f from 34 Flat starts; fine runs in defeat in premier handicaps at Leopardstown and Galway over the summer but was a bit below that level in the Cambridgeshire here last time; can be keen so needs to settle better. |

Despite an outside draw it could pay to keep the faith with ANGEL ON FIRE, a C&D winner who comes here on he back of two good runs in defeat behind an improver. Boadicea Belle, The Bog Bank and Tall Story head the list of likely dangers. [Alan Hewison]
