      Verdict

      The step up to 1m4f at Beverley witnessed Red Glory open his account and he can figure again if handling the soft surface. But it was testing going when OLYMPIC THEATRE scored over today’s trip at Windsor last time and Michael Bell’s charge may edge this given the similar underfoot conditions. Secret Shadow also raced at Windsor recently though never looked like catching the winner when finishing second while Amalfi Bay is preferred to Rhebus Road now handicapping.
