Verdict

David's Beauty has won five times here and from much higher marks but has been out of form. GLAMOROUS FORCE is just 3lb higher than when scoring at Ffos Las and ran very well in a better handicap at Goodwood last time, form that could be good enough for this. Nacho had been racing exclusively at Wolverhampton before a cracking effort at Beverley while Blue Venture won here in July. The latter was beaten three lengths behind Ghepardo over the track and trip in June but the winner has been out of form subsequently. It's over a year since Coronation Cottage won a race but she's 11lb lower as a consequence.
