Glamorous Breeze^p¹⁹

11/2

Well backed but got upset in stalls prior to finishing down the field at Ascot (5f, good) 19 days ago. Might be worth forgiving that and she's been given a chance by the handicapper.

Form: 2D38-68

Whats In The Bag^h³³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: N Callan| T: R A Teal| OR: 74| CD

17/2

Improved to win a C&D novice (good to firm) under Neil Callan last June. Not seen since but has potential as a lightly-raced sort. Interesting to see how strong he is in the betting.

14/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford in December. Off 3 months, ninth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good) 19 days ago. Might strip fitter for the outing.

Forecasts

Vespasian (11/4), Antiphon (7/2), Faustus (9/2), Glamorous Breeze (11/2), Lil Guff (6/1), Tolstoy (8/1), Whats In The Bag (17/2), La Roca Del Fuego (14/1)

VESPASIAN reacted well to a new headgear combination when second back on turf at Thirsk last time and is taken to build on that and go one better now. Glamorous Breeze had an excuse last time and is starting to look well treated so she's second choice ahead of Faustus and Antiphon.
