    Verdict

    Bug Boy arrives on a hat-trick but steps up in grade again. Cherry Cola needs further but SPRING GLOW was only beaten a neck over this trip at Goodwood two runs ago and the Balding mare has improved markedly over the last nine months. Caramelised has run well over hurdles since winning at Bath and Night Eagle came up against the progressive Caius Chorister when on a three-timer at Epsom. Postwick is also interesting upped in trip for his handicap debut while Benoit De La Sayette claims a handy 3lb off Percy Jones.
