In depth

Verdict

Any number with a chance but EMBER’S GLOW won at Wolverhampton before going close again over track and trip when unlucky in-running. He’s worth sticking with in his current form and has the beating of both Singing The Blues and Bird For Life. Arlecchino's Arc was narrowly beaten here last time and is another to consider while Banta Bay finished in front of Harry Callahan when third here last time and the latter has subsequently finished runner-up at the track. Lady Of York will be sharper for a recent reappearance and is not out of this either.
