My Guardian Angel has been alternating between hurdles and the Flat though isn't particularly consistent. Mixed Message won a couple of sellers before beaten in a Doncaster handicap while Gabrial's Hope, who is 13lb higher than his victory over the course and distance in June, has plenty to do. Past Forgetting has shown enough promise in three maidens to suggest this could be within his capabilities but it's fellow Newmarket raider BELTOR who could be the one despite the fact he's having his first start for a year. Sir Mark Prescott is very adept at getting one ready and, after showing potential over trips too short last season, he can take the step up in trip in his stride. Valantino Oyster has been well placed to win 11 races and can never be discounted in this sort of grade.
