Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Fallen Angel heads this eleven-runner Class 1 contest at Haydock on a rating comfortably clear of the rest, and her form entitles her to plenty of respect over this mile trip on good ground. Calendar Girl is the most obvious threat, rated 16 lb behind but capable of better, while Alobayyah and Pacific Mission also deserve consideration among the dangers. With the edge in class and ability firmly in her favour, **Fallen Angel** is our selection.
