9/4

Useful performer and won a couple of races at Pontefract and Kempton last year. Very much had the run of the race to beat two rivals last time out over a mile at Lingfield and will be expected to get on with things again from the front off a 4lb higher mark.

Blaze Of Glory²⁰

4/9

Winner of a mile maiden here last time out beating a subsequent winner in good style in a race that has produced another winner since. Travelled well and won in good fashion making all quickening up in the straight and eased down at the finish. Mark of 87 doesn't look too onerous and one to keep an eye on making handicap debut.

Three last time out winners oppose each other here with BLAZE OF GLORY looking the most impressive after his visually impressive victory at Lingfield last time out. His main challenge may well come from his stable and owner mate Royal Opera House who also won easily last time out. Looking to spoil the party and a Jamie Osborne 1-2 will be Mailshot who very much got the run of the race when winning at Lingfield over a mile 13 days ago. 1. Blaze Of Glory 2. Royal Opera House 3.
