Verdict
GLAMOROUS ANGEL has progressed with every run culminating in his maiden victory at Pontefract last month. His ability to handle soft ground has to be taken on trust, but the drop back to 5f should be no problem if he takes to the surface. Quite A Thing is also unproven on today's going but she has bags of speed and should be thereabouts, while the remainder look up against it on today's terms, though I'll Be Good is a winner in soft and Redair may improve for first-time blinkers.
