In depth
Verdict
Glory City hung on for victory over C&D in a maiden here last time and should go well again. However, he may end up providing a good lead for INFINITE MAGIC in this. The latter left himself with plenty to do after a slow start at Kempton on his handicap debut but stayed on well to finish a close-up fourth. He can take this with a clean break from the stalls. Tight Knit also has solid claims having beaten a subsequent winner when landing a maiden at this track last time. He's preferred to another handicap debutant in Brownsea Brink and the upped-in-class C&D winner Red Eight.
