CUSTARD THE DRAGON has now won four times over course and distance since December. He’s upped a further 3lb for his latest success but drops back down a grade and is worth sticking with. Among Angels has struggled since winning at the track in February and was behind fifth-placed Red Touch over a mile here last month while Intensical makes his Fibresand debut and went close at Chelmsford the last time he raced over 7f. Robero was progressive last year and is worth noting on his return to action and debut for Mick Easterby.
