Verdict
SPANISH ANGEL won on the Tapeta before finishing runner-up on testing ground at Beverley last month. The winner has won again subsequently and Ruth Carr’s charge can confirm running with fourth-placed High Opinion. Imperial Khan’s earlier success came on fast ground while stablemate Latin Five placed yet again when second at Thirsk but Malham Tarn Cove has been in the mix off his current mark lately.
