      In depth

      Verdict

      An earlier winner at Pontefract, Gisele's Angel could only manage third under a penalty last time. Oneovdem drops down to the minimum trip for the first time having finished a bit closer when third at Doncaster but is conceding plenty of weight to the three-year-old SPARKALEX and the latter is preferred having shown a big improvement when runner-up at Bath on her latest start. Biscuit Billy makes no appeal while the newcomer Resolution cost 36,000gns as a yearling but was sold for only 1,000gns in May.
