Plenty with a solid chance but DANDY'S ANGEL should give a decent account in recent of weight all round, especially with the promising Brandon Wilkie claiming a valuable 7lb. The mare, a confirmed hold-up performer, should be suited by the long straight in which to unwind her challenge. She's generally consistent and runs off an unchanged mark after two sound Beverley efforts. Recent winner Beryl Burton also makes some appeal from the lower reaches of the handicap with Tele Red worth a second look at the opposite end of the handicap. Land Of Eagles can also play a part along with Motarajel and Can't Stop Now, who have both been in fair form of late.
