Verdict
Both Cainhoe Star and GLORY AWAITS have fallen victim to the same horse recently and the former comes out best on collateral form. But the latter didn’t get the clearest of runs here last time and another chance goes to David Simcock’s charge. Loyalty has a bit to find with both of the above on recent running and Planetaria is preferred having slipped further down the handicap and finally returning to a winning mark.
