In depth
Verdict
ANGELITO took another step forward when landing his handicap debut at Bath. There should be more to come and Ed McMahon's charge is just preferred to another lightly-raced sort in Silken Express. Queen Grace isn't out of this back on the Polytrack having won her maiden over C&D last term while Flash City could get involved on his best form. Decision By One will appreciate a return to the minimum trip but Bubbly Ballerina looks a bigger threat on her latest second at Yarmouth in similar company.
