Fantasy Believer was third back on Turf at Newbury but is high enough in the weights. Cloud Drift met interference at Lingfield and will strip fitter today while Indie Angel missed the break when third at Chelmsford. The winner that day ran well at Royal Ascot subsequently and John Gosden’s grey should be winning again soon. ANGEL OF DELIGHT lacks a recent run but the yard is going really well and James Doyle’s mount will relish the extra furlong based on runs last year at Newmarket and Newcastle. Notforalongtime is having a first run on Turf, however, as he bids for the hat-trick but there are possibilities about Haydock fourth Kuwait Shield and Folk Dance remains unexposed.
