Verdict
Ingleby Angel only does just enough to win and is not easily dismissed as he chases a four-timer under a penalty. Silver Rime popped up at 20/1 last time and should also figure again, although Irish raider Star Links is weighted to reverse earlier running at this track with the former. It was soft ground when TECTONIC scored at Carlisle last month and he looks capable of winning off today's higher mark after going close at Hamilton with Ralphy Boy not far behind. Keith Dalgleish's charge gets the nod as the likes of True Pleasure and High Resolution step up in class and will carry more than their allotted weight.
