Antiphon came good at Chelmsford last month but a chance is taken on AMERICAN KESTREL. The half-sister to the smart Mohawk King won a maiden at Newbury before beaten in Listed company and the Hannon filly makes her handicap debut with an apprentice taking 7lb off her back. Resilience finished in front of both Little Prayer and a below par Lord Gorgeous when runner-up at Southwell while Beauzon has looked high enough in the weights since winning at Wolverhampton. Angle Land has gone close over the minimum trip recently and has yet to race over this far.
