AIRGLOW finished last of five over 6f on fast going at Carlisle last time but won in soft ground at York before that. He gets the nod on that form with Glamorous Rocket remaining 10lb higher than when completing a hat-trick in June and Llamrei looking no nearer to winning. Charming Guest has struggled since scoring at Bath but is now back on a winning mark and could go well.
