In depth
Verdict
Course form is in short supply but WARM WORDS went close over track and trip when runner-up on her handicap debut. Ralph Beckett’s filly finished clear of a subsequent winner so the form looks solid enough. Dancin Alpha found only the veteran General Tufto too good on her earlier visit to the track and can also figure while Ramblow failed to see out 1m3f here last time and should finish closer today. Henry Candy has a rare runner at this venue with Sun Angel expected to go well if taking to the surface.
