Verdict

Ocasio Cortez has a penalty for a Lingfield victory on good to soft but has continued to run well including in a lucrative sales race at Newbury. Hot Heels makes a quick reappearance after a decent run at Wolverhampton on Tuesday while SPANISH ANGEL was well supported at Goodwood back in May where he was only headed in the closing stages. The winner finished second in a Listed race at Sandown last time so the form looks strong though the concession of 8lb to Ventura Flame won't be easy as Keith Dalgleish's filly was only beaten a nose at Musselburgh after almost making all.
