Verdict
Abareeq can race off a 12lb lower mark back on Turf having gone close on his reappearance at Chelmsford. But he’s 0-10 on the surface and needs it much quicker than this. MOUNTAIN ANGEL has only won a Beverley maiden so far but he twice ran well on soft going last year, including once over the straight mile at Doncaster. He’s been gelded since a solid fifth behind the smart Addeybb at Newmarket in September and can make a winning return. Sir Titan could run well if ready and Sans Souci Bay is starting to look well treated. Glenn Coco has done best on Polytrack so far, however, and Love And Be Loved steps up in class. Secret Return and Sayem look the pick of the remainder.
