Dutch Glory never got close enough to challenge last week behind James Henry but was staying on and should get into the mix. CIRCLES had River Derwent and Sunset Nova behind when fifth a week ago and should now be on a winnable mark so gets the nod. Pulse Of Shanghai is on a very long losing run but consistency means he cannot be dropped in the weights. Cherry Bloom, a dual winner on Turf, is 0-12 around here.
