Johan Zoffani, making his debut on the surface, has only been beaten just over 2l in a total of three starts on Turf, the last two on heavy going. He has the worst of the draw while Never Before started off with a very good run here in April but didn't run so well when stepped up to this trip at Naas in June. Turbo Command wasn't beaten far over the track and trip in September and didn't appear to enjoy stepping up to 7f next time. Feelinlikeasomeone showed the occasional sign of form for Mark Johnston but this can go to a newcomer with GLORIOUS HERO fitting the bill. A half-brother to six winners, several on the all-weather, he's not ideally drawn but should have enough pace to lie handy.
