Formscan  - He's An Angel just got the better of MASTER DANDY when the pair met at Wolverhampton on Monday but the latter is weighted to reverse the form being 3lb better off on this occasion. Michael Keady's gelding was carrying a 5lb penalty for scoring at the same venue the week before and is turned out quickly before the handicapper has another say. Others for the shortlist include Desdemona and Second Collection.
