Glorious Charmer^p1,t²⁶

12/1

Three wins from 11 runs last year but poor efforts last 5 starts, including when failing to beat a rival over C&D 26 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to spark a revival.

Forecasts

Jacquelina (5/2), Basholo (11/4), Admirable Lad (7/2), Embla (7/2), Deputise (8/1), Banana (11/1), Glorious Charmer (12/1), Alya's Gold Award (40/1), Hi Hoh Tonto (100/1)

JACQUELINA always had matters in hand over C&D last week and could take a bit of pegging back if showing up in similar form. Basholo and Banana are feared most in that order.
