Soaring Glory won a Grade 3 handicap at Newbury back in February when Wild Max fell but is 10lb higher today and the latter has undergone wind surgery subsequently. Ajero was well beaten in Grade 1 company when last in action having earlier landed a couple of handicaps. BOOTHILL made a winning debut over timber last year when beating three subsequent winners at Taunton. Harry Fry’s charge should improve further now handicapping and gets the vote. Progressive won at Chepstow recently when Megan fell and Leoncavallo will be sharper for a recent outing at Ffos Las.
