Desert Glory

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J Tate

5/1

Churchill colt. Closely related to 1½m-2m winner Polish and half-brother to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Ply. Dam 1¼m-1½m winner. Makes appeal on paper and betting should prove a useful guide on debut.

Glam De Vega²⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

4/6

Bred to be useful and definite promise in a couple of back end novice/maiden events last term, second of 11 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) in November. Obvious claims on return with prospect of more to come.

2/1

Improved for switch/ to handicaps/step up in trip when second at Lingfield (10f, AW) in May and matched that when sixth of 13 in handicap at Sandown (10f) having done plenty n the front end. Should make his presence felt returned to maiden company.

Form: 5-4426

Mister Charlie

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: S England

100/1

Forever Now gelding. Dam 7f-8.4f winner. Rates a likely outsider on racecourse debut.

28/1

Once-raced gelding. 20/1, sixth of 11 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good) on debut 27 days ago, not knocked about. Open to progress with that under his belt but he may be one for later on.

200/1

Twice-raced gelding. Last of 12 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f, 300/1) 10 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Glam De Vega (4/6), Kaatibb (2/1), Wilkins (11/4), Desert Glory (5/1), Mr Heinz (28/1), Mister Charlie (100/1), Waud House (150/1), Rambling Prince (200/1)

GLAM DE VEGA offered definite signs of promise in a couple of back end novice/maiden events last term, latterly when runner-up to now useful King of Stars at Nottingham on his final start and he earns the vote to come out on top on return with the prospect of more to come. Kaatibb and Wilkins are others expected to feature.
