C&D winner but only eighth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 57 days ago. Can make presence felt if shrugging off latest effort.

C&D winner but he comes here on the back of a below-par fourth of 6 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to soft) 123 days ago. Others more persuasive.

It's now 17 runs since her last win in 2023 but not disgraced when fourth of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good, 7/2) 7 days ago. Possibilities.

Resumed winning ways in 8-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly despite a 2 lb rise in the weights.

Lightly-raced maiden who signed off for Ed Walker with ninth of 10 in 6f handicap at Southwell in January. Needs yard switch to spark a resurgence.

Forecasts

Four Adaay (3/1), Glamorous Express (3/1), Bang On The Bell (9/2), Harb (17/2), Thismydream (9/1), Spirit Of Breeze (12/1), Secret Handsheikh (14/1), Libra Tiger (14/1), Soldiers Design (20/1), Acer (50/1), Kitty Bennet (80/1)

Verdict

GLAMOROUS EXPRESS took a big step back in the right direction with a recent fourth at Brighton and can now capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Bath scorer Thismydream rates the obvious danger, although both Four Adaay and Spirit of Breeze can have a say too in this open contest.

  1. Glamorous Express3/1
