WAR GLORY is the least exposed having won a maiden race at Wolverhampton back in January. He’s likely to have improved during the interim and this extra distance will suit. Miniaturist has slipped down the weights and finished closer at Kempton last time but Weather Front was well beaten at Chepstow recently having won at Redcar before that. Mustaqqil needs to dig a bit deeper if he’s to figure while Hakam has yet to threaten in handicaps having won a maiden on the all-weather in April.
