RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): R Hannon (35 wins from 284 runners, 12%) runs THE BIG BOARD

TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): R Hannon (10 wins from 64 runners, 16%) runs THE BIG BOARD

LONGEST TRAVELLER: THE BIG BOARD trained by R Hannon, Marlborough, 184 miles.

Cases can be made for most of these, but preference is for PURE ANGEL, who shaped as if still in top form when seventh at York just under 3 weeks ago and back at the minimum trip, James Horton’s filly remains one to be positive about. She can get the better of Riversway, who regained the winning thread at Haydock recently, while Sparkling Red and Lotus Rose are another couple fancied to be in the shake-up
