Verdict
VICTORY ANGEL won twice around here in September and bounced back to form in a Class 3 at Beverley a couple of weeks ago for which he's only been raised 1lb. He can go in again though Fashion Advice, a winner at Newcastle in February, came here at the beginning of the month and recorded a smooth victory though an 8lb rise makes this tougher. Victory Rose, who won at Doncaster as a three-year-old, took well to Tapeta at Wolverhampton and recorded a double there in September but hasn't run subsequently. Mid Winster has been showing very good speed over 5f and with conditions in her favour is likely to be there at the finish.
