The drop back in trip should suit HEL'S ANGEL and she can take this opener at the main expense of Aathaar and Quanah Parker. The selection improved considerably for her debut run when third of 12 at Redcar last time out. She has had a decent break since then and has a good draw on the near side here, so we will side with her to improve again and score. Aathaar also drops back in trip from 7f and ran to a similar level of form on both his first two starts in the past month. He is respected, though the furlong shorter is not necessarily an advantage where he's concerned. Quanah Parker has not run badly on either start so far and caught a tartar at Ayr last time. A repeat of or improvement on that effort should see him involved. Count Paris needs to improve, while Montmorency found very little on debut at Lingfield and clearly does not look a Godolphin star now he is sent here, but he may improve enough to pick up some money. Not one to wade in on, but we'll take Hel's Angel to leather the opposition.
