Verdict

A cracking handicap. COUL ANGEL has arguably been an unlucky loser on his last 2 outings and can show he's still on a favourable mark. Germanic has excelled in his 3 visits here and is second choice ahead of Pocklington and Eminency, who finished ahead of the selection when 1-2 in a similarly strong handicap at Southwell recently.

Coul Angel (Ire) silk

Very good AW record, including a pair of 6f Kempton wins this autumn. Looked unlucky when 2½ lengths sixth of 13 to Pocklington at Southwell (6f) 15 days ago, hampered twice inside final 1f. Likely to have a big say with a clear passage.

Germanic (Ire) silk

Disappointed on turf last year but bounced back to form to take advantage of a reduced mark over C&D in November, beating the reopposing Heavenly Heather by 1½ lengths and taking his AW record to 2 wins and a second from 3 starts. A must for the shortlist.

Pocklington silk

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Southwell (6f, 7/4) 15 days ago by neck from Eminency, driven out. Visor back on. Can give another good account off 3 lb higher.
