The consistent PRIDE OF ANGELS has been raised a further 2lb for her recent success over today’s trip at Brighton. But Gary Moore utilises an apprentice’s 7lb allowance today and his progressive mare can go in again. Treacherous and Nezar were separated by only a neck when the former won over track and trip last month and both can figure but King of Nepal has struggled since completing a double over 7f on the all-weather at the turn of the year. Compass Hill won a lower grade handicap at Wolverhampton in May while Kingston Kurrajong has won twice over a mile here this year.
