Verdict

VOODOO ANGEL has made a solid start to handicaps with consecutive runner-up finishes, taking another step forward when narrowly denied at Catterick a week ago and she looks ready to open her account. Gower Spirit has also been placed on her last two starts and looks capable of going close, having again been unlucky to bump into one at Hereford 11 days ago.

5	Out of sorts having pulled up in both runs since returning from a 7-month break (fell heavily on comeback) and now without a win in 17 races. Booking of Sam Twiston-Davies/change of headgear offer some cause for optimism however, and she's one to note for support. 3rd Pick 5 Make Sunshine (Ire) Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies Trainer: Ryan Potter J: Sam Twiston-Davies T: Ryan Potter	94	-	-	-	16%
