Haydock winner Take Cover, drawn one, is likely to blaze a trail for those drawn on his side of the track, meaning those in low stalls might just have an advantage. MECCA'S ANGEL dazzled when picking up Acapulco (non-runner) in last year's Nunthorpe at York and the ground has again turned in favour of Michael Dods' flying mare, who was probably unlucky not to beat the much-improved Profitable at Haydock on her reappearance as she was carried across the track by the winner close home and only beaten a neck. Clive Cox's charge also had Waady, Pearl Secret, Aeolus, Move In Time, Muthmir and Sir Maximilian behind in that race and had earlier beaten Jungle Cat and several of these in the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket. Last year's winner Goldream doesn't arrive in the same form this time but is still respected even if going conditions are not ideal. Mongolian Saturday won a Grade 1 in the States last year but looks up against it here.
