In depth
Verdict
All of these have some sort of chance, including the three-times course winner Angel Of Harlem. Trixster arrives off the back of a win at Taunton and Midnight Glance handles all types of going but VOYBURG (NAP) looks the pick of the weights on his victory at Exeter over the winter with heavy going a legitimate excuse last time. Cafe Pushkin may be best of the rest even though Be The Difference is almost certain to run his race again.
