Verdict
Glory Awaits has been thereabouts over a mile recently while Full Intention has a chance on an earlier second over today’s trip at Newmarket. Sonnet Rose found only one too good in a lower grade contest here last time but VINCENZO COCCOTTI won with a bit to spare over course and distance last month and is taken to defy a 6lb rise despite having switched yards subsequently. Coverham and Al Reeh are not badly treated on their best form but have been below par lately.
