Angel's Envy never threatened over 2m4f here last time but still finished ahead of Eagle Ridge and this is a modest finale. Emirat De Catana has claims, despite top weight, and Skyhill is another to consider having stayed on late at Newcastle last month but the vote goes to WHITE LILAC. Sam Twiston-Davies is hanging around to partner Neil Mulholland’s mare, who is tumbling down the weights and can probably be forgiven her latest run at Exeter.
