BRIGHT GLORY shaped well (met trouble) when fifth at this course 12 days ago and the drop in trip shouldn't pose a problem, so he's fancied to land this weak event despite a tricky draw in 16. Sir Dotti, who has been performing with some consistency of late, should be better positioned than the selection, so he's an obvious player, while Brokers Tip can't be dismissed from a reduced mark.
