In depth

Verdict

Fox Flame has been highly tried since scoring over the course and distance and, with her yard still firing the winners in, she can make her presence felt but STAR ANGEL has run in three Class 4 handicaps on Turf since landing a novices' contest at Southwell and will appreciate the drop in grade. Kempton winner Flower Of Dubai ran a fine race in a Doncaster handicap and should have more to offer as that was only her third start but Wodhooh was beaten 13 lengths into second at Kempton and will need to do better. None of the remainder can be dismissed in a tricky opener.
