Rainford Glory is getting steadily closer and will be scoring off his current mark before long but another chance goes to GIANT SEQUOIA. The latter was dropped back in trip when beaten at Chelmsford last time but had got the better of Koos at the same track over 1m5f before that and is only 2lb higher today. Kristal Hart scored over 1m2f at Bath in August but Fire In Babylon was still beaten five lengths when second at Wolverhampton last time. A good run from Weld Arab in the previous race will boost the claims of recent third Jazri in this.
