Verdict
Northern Angel's victory at Nottingham was gained on ground with some give and she didn't appear to appreciate an extra furlong on Tapeta at Wolverhampton on her reappearance. She can do better than that and doesn't have too much weight to concede. THE RIGHT CHOICE looked quite moderate in maidens but showed much improved form to finish close up in a strong York nursery in July and looks the type to improve in his second season. Queen Of Kalahari scored twice on Turf for Charlie Hills last term and though not showing much on the all-weather for new connections she's now dropped to a more reasonable mark. Leeshaan looked potentially useful when scoring at Haydock in June but hasn't progressed as expected nor has Magic Mark, who started out with a couple of promising runs on very fast ground last summer.
