Nurse Dee went close here before scoring at Wolverhampton though a wide draw doesn’t help her cause today. Arthur's Angel was only beaten a length at Wolverhampton when ahead of Night Force last time and can go well again while a host of these go handicapping for the first time. Sergeant Major, Lochanthem and Captain Helmet all step up from 7f but ANGEL MILL finished third in a decent novice event over course and distance a fortnight ago and James Tate’s filly makes most appeal in this.
