In depth
Verdict
Spanish Angel landed the odds in a maiden at Brighton as expected and goes handicapping for the first time on her reappearance. But CASPIAN QUEEN (NAP) did well to finish second over 6f at Lingfield last week given she raced wide for most of the way and Richard Hughes’ filly gets the vote to confirm running with Pop Dancer having won over the minimum trip last year. Electric Ladyland can be forgiven a poor effort in Listed company in France last time and doesn’t looks badly treated on earlier efforts in handicaps while Bettys Hope won the Super Sprint at Newbury last summer and is preferred to Glamorous Anna.
