War Glory has won off a higher mark before and went close in this grade over track and trip a fortnight ago. He’s taken to confirm latest running with Sir Maximilian and Home Before Dusk but PLANTADREAM (NAP) gets another chance. The latter came up short over 1m2f last time but an earlier neck defeat over today’s distance at Lingfield with Pistoletto behind gives him every chance and John Best’s charge makes most appeal. Count Of Amazonia won a lower grade contest here on his first outing after wind surgery while both United Front and Salateen have switched to Mick Appleby’s yard since last in action.
