A runner-up here on his all-weather debut, JOMONT went one better when scoring over track and trip last time. He looks worth sticking with given his liking for the surface. She's No Angel also won here in September and placed at Lingfield earlier in the week while Soaring Star has been in decent form over a mile at this venue and attempts today’s distance for the first time. Virgo doesn’t look particularly well handicapped on last month’s effort at Kempton though has plenty of scope.
