A few of these have been in winning form with HOLY ANGEL the most impressive. He never looked in any danger when making all in an apprentices race over 6f here last week and can go in again off the same mark. Sunrise Dance scored over track and trip before finding a couple too good over 6f here last time while it was only a seller that Ivestar won at this track last month. Lord Buffhead will find this tougher than the amateurs event he won last time but Beverley winner Ingleby Star has a shout on his first start since October as does Festival Dance.
