        Verdict

        The best race on the card and a chance is taken with VICTORY ANGEL. Recent performances have seen her finish towards the back end of proceedings but she's contested some really hot sprints and a recapturing of the form revealed when landing a Class 2 Newmarket contest in the spring would see her bang there. Jordan Sport can be relied upon to run his race as he's in good form nd will have conditions to suit Highland Acclaim and Huntsmans Close were only separated by a short-head when 1-2 at Epsom last month so are hard to ignore along with Barrington, who will appreciate remaining in handicap company after facing some really tough assignments earlier in the season.
