Tin Hat is penalised for winning at Brighton last week and that should hand the advantage to GLORY FIGHTER. The latter made a promising start when runner-up over the minimum trip at Newbury last month and normal progress should see him go one better. Kodinar could only manage a modest fourth in soft going at Ripon on her debut and this faster surface may suit while Soldier's Call makes most appeal of the newcomers.
