LORD GLITTERS may be an eight-year-old but he won twice in Meydan at the start of the year and looked as good as ever at York two week ago when chasing home the progressive Real World. Bell Rock and My Oberon were both behind and the grey can win for the first time in the UK since landing the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot in 2019. Maydanny and Artistic Rifles are cracking handicappers worth a try in this grade but will need further improvement.
