      In depth

      Verdict

      Glimpse Of Gold is 6lb higher than when successful 12 months ago and was only third here last month behind RESTITUTION and Vocal Duke. Alan King’s improving four-year-old can defy a 5lb rise and double his tally. Sorbet has been waiting for this better ground and, also a course and distance winner, can make her presence felt but Zamond will need to improve on recent form to get involved.
