In depth
Verdict
Angelo's Double gets the vote here ahead of Goldbricker and, possibly, the newcomers Certifiable and Laura Lea. Running through the field. Certifiable has plenty of winners in her pedigree so a market move would be interesting. Angelo's Pride was disappointing last time but did better at this trip the time before. The best of his form is the best that can be offered up by these runners today, so that swings the verdict in his favour. Lilian has bits of form but none of it here and, overall, her form is plating class. That last comment applies to Kustom Kit For Her's last run, which was a best yet for her. Laura Lea's dam won four times at five to seven furlongs, while a repeat of Goldbricker's second at Yarmouth in September would give him rock-solid claims but his last two runs, including one here, have been nothing out of the ordinary. Danum's form is also modest, although official ratings give him a chance. It's that sort of race, really, modest overall but one in which we are prepared to give Angelo's Double - who is best in on official ratings - another chance, but keep a close eye on the betting market.
