WISE GLORY failed to stay in the Melrose at York last time and has solid claims back over 1m4f in this given he won on soft ground at Newmarket in July. Zambezi Magic will have to settle better than he did at Haydock and will also have to prove he handles conditions while Mafia Power is still 9lb higher than when scoring at Haydock in the summer. Glenties has been generally disappointing but Inchicore is unexposed and starts off in handicaps on a potentially-lenient mark.
