In depth
Verdict
Slow ground and a longer trip may not have been in Elnadwa's favour at Newcastle last time. Much better is expected back over 7f but Saeed Bin Suroor hasn't had a winner at this track for some time now. Angelic Upstart is tempting off a 7lb lower mark back on Turf but that's because he's never won on this surface while Corporal Maddox and Dashing David remain out of sorts. It could pay to stick with SARANGOO in this as she ran well for second off today's mark at Newbury last time having scored over course and distance before that and she gets the nod.
