In depth
Verdict
Few will want to oppose angel delight in this mares only affair as she boasts by far the best form. A winner amongst her own sex at Kempton earlier in the season, she was third to Prokofiev last time and should appreciate being back among the ladies. Angel delight finished fifth in the mares final at Newbury in March, a race in which Long Shot was beaten when falling three out. Toulon Rouge did not look the most straightforward of rides when scoring at Sedgefield but is expected to go well without being good enough to trouble Angel Delight.
