ETERNAL GLORY made all over C&D in July and, despite a poor showing at Newmarket 20 days ago, it would be no great surprise were she to prove hard to pass again. Kit Gabriel's third at Windsor last time looks a solid piece of form, so he's a definite player, and Chelsea Anne may well get back on the up having found things conspiring against her last time.
