Chasing Angels hasn't had much experience but don't rule out some improvement from Jim Bolger's filly who ran quite well on her only start last year at Dundalk. SECRET HERO began last season on a mark of 66 but has slipped to 51 and showed his first sign of form for some time when runner-up to Andalucia Lady here last month. Lee Smyth's charge looks the one to be on if able to repeat that sort of effort. Atiya showed promise in her three starts in September and has plenty of improvement in her and though the veteran Oversighted is campaigned mainly on Polytrack these days he's very well handicapped on his return to turf and is no forlorn hope.
