Qualifies for handicaps after this, and that is where best chance of success may lie after a couple of runs showing limited promise so far. Step up in trip should help but others preferred.

Already gelded, and yard just 1-44 with their 3-y-o's here, so that alone is enough reason to look elsewhere for the winner. Trip probably far enough too and makes little appeal on debut.

Slightly disconcerting to see the blinkers applied so quickly, but there was some promise to be taken from his debut at Lingfield last month and he should improve. Bred to go well on the surface and shouldn't be ruled out for top stable.

6/5
Stepped up a bit on previous efforts when upped to this trip at Newcastle last time, second to stablemate Flag Festival (travelled well) and now connections try cheekpieces to help him. Form chance is there to see and sets the standard.
Ran well on debut at Southwell in November when second to German Bight, but took a big backward step last time when well beaten here over a mile, seemingly with little excuse. Hard to trust after that, but clear chance if bouncing back.

Made seven figures when going through the ring back in 2015, bred in the purple and should act well on dirt. Low-key introduction but yard do get 3-y-o winners here and if she lives up to her pedigree, could be too good for these.

Verdict

There has to be a slight question mark as to why we've not seen GLORIES on the track before now, but she's bred to be very useful and Ralph Beckett isn't afraid to introduce a good newcomer on the sand. In the hope she lives up to her pedigree, she's taken to come out on top. Tabernas looks the one to take advantage if the selection needs the experience, with The Jungle Vip best of the rest.
