Verdict

Three-year-olds have a good record and have won the last two. Aranka takes a big leap in trip after two runs over 6f, the latest when landing a Windsor maiden. Connections must believe she's capable of staying the extra though this is a tough introduction to handicaps. ANGEL VISION landed a 7f maiden here and wasn't disgraced on a return visit over a mile when runner-up to Sahaafy. She'll improve again and looks capable of returning to winning ways. Forest Maiden made all to beat two rivals at Thirsk and similar tactics will probably be employed here and that should suit Spirit Raiser, a winner here a year ago and right back to form at Kempton earlier this month when brought with a late challenge to get up close home.
