She may not have won but Angel Voices took to this track well when runner up here last time and she is taken to go one better here at the main expense of Mambazo and Monashee Prince. Angel Voices was beaten that day by Benllech who took over close home, after Kevin Ryan's mare had tried to make all, and it is likely that similar tactics will be employed here. Although that is not always a good thing at the track, she does stay well enough to see out 7f, so she won't be stopping at the business end. Mambazo has risen in the weights after running up a hat-trick last summer and certainly has ability at this level. However, a 3lb rise for coming second last time won't help his cause and he is opposed. Monashee Prince is a c&d scorer and is in good nick after finishing runner up to Chatshow at Kempton last time. John Best's runner is very capable off this sort of mark and he can go close. Mind Alert looks to have too much on his back here, and the same can be said of Regal Royale and Inca Soldier may be a better proposition if he handles the place on his first start here for a few years. However, Angel Voices looks to have a few things going for her here and can score.
