      Verdict

      Candlelight remains 10lb higher than her victory at Redcar in May and was well beaten last time. This could be a good chance for RACING ANGEL to open her account as she showed a big improvement at Bath last time and there should be more to come now handicapping. A winner on Polytrack, Most Tempting has only her second start on this surface and the same goes for Dusty Blue. The latter returns from an unsuccessful raid on Deauville while Tarando and Zebs Lad continue to struggle despite a slide down the weights.
