Clearly likes it here as her best form has been at the track and she sprang a 33/1 shock over 1m2f last season. Below best on soft last time but could bounce back here.

Forecasts

Angel Gabrial (5/2), Red Royalist (3/1), Noble Behest (3/1), Iconic Belle (6/1), Charlie D (7/1), Ebqaa (7/1)

RED ROYALIST is in good nick over hurdles and may have more to come at this trip and gets the narrow vote in a tight heat. Iconic Belle showed at Wetherby on latest that she is worth a go at this longer trip and along with Angel Gabrial may follow the selection home.
