Man Made Of Smoke placed here last month and shares the same handicap mark as The Angelus Bell. The latter scored at Newcastle three runs ago but subsequently finished behind STELIOS at the same track and Phillip Makin’s charge has plenty of scope for further progress. La Mia Dutchessa is upped in trip and Lexington Hero drops down to this level after just one previous outing.
