Verdict

He's No Angel won his maiden here over a shorter trip and Tornado Force is back on a winning mark but it could pay to concentrate on the younger horses. Thorpe should figure having improved with every start culminating in a second at Newmarket while Chepstow runner-up Star Of Namibia is preferred to Sweet Martoni on this surface. VELVETINA opened her account with victory over 1m2f at Kempton and breeding suggests Harry Dunlop's filly will prove even better over this longer trip. She gets the vote as Mirth will need a big step forward to figure.
