Verdict
Justice Angel won over 7f last year and remains 8lb higher while Furiant has won over 5f though disappointed at Southwell last time. Stormflower ended last year with a victory over the minimum trip here but is upped a grade for her reappearance while maiden winner Wimpole Hall also faces a tougher task having won at Chelmsford in October. HANDYTALK made a winning start at this venue last term and raced in better company than this without success for the rest of the year. 6lb lower on his return to action, Rod Millman's charge may well be good enough.
