Verdict
Tony Hamilton rides Epsom 7f winner Jumeirah Glory despite the suspicion the latter needs some cut. Stablemate GABRIAL THE VIKING is preferred after scoring over today's trip at Chester last week with Jack Garrity claiming 5lb today. Power Play is up in the weights for winning over 7f at Newbury while stable companion Divine Law ran poorly in soft ground at Windsor having won at Haydock earlier. Alans Pride failed to cope with a 9lb rise at Thirsk last time but still finished ahead of Special Venture and Chadic has been well beaten since scoring over 7f here back in July.
