Prey For Glory finished a bit closer over a mile at Salisbury back in September but Join Forces will need to settle better over this extra distance having vied for the lead for most of the way over 6f at Lingfield before fading. UNDER WRAPS still looked green at Lingfield last time and the race was over when she finally found top gear - the Gosden filly gets another chance in this. Invincible Swagger is a half-brother to stablemate and Listed winner Gold Wand while Pooky is related to six winners and both are worth a second look in the betting market.
