      Verdict

      Gilwen Glory is 11lb higher than when successful at Chepstow but her young rider is very good value for his claim and gets on well with Evan Williams' mare, who can go well again. Am I Blue scored twice in September but suffered in the weights as a consequence and looks up against it but DEFINITLEY LOVELY looks the one to be on. The six-year-old looked a nice prospect when scoring at Doncaster last month and was out of her comfort zone in a Listed contest at Newbury three weeks later. Giovanna's form figures suggest she should be ignored but she's dropped to a fair mark and there was a glimmer of her old ability at Warwick last time.
