Forecasts

Just Jacob (9/4), Fire Eyes (5/2), Voice Of Glory (7/2), Lion Face (5/1), Winterwatch (10/1), Chipping Away (16/1), It Girl (50/1)

VOICE OF GLORY shaped with encouragement amidst inexperience when seventh at Newbury on debut and has enough stamina in her pedigree to think this longer trip will suit. As such, she's preferred to Just Jacob and Fire Eyes, who have better form than the selection but might not be quite so strong at the finish.
