War Glory won last year’s renewal off a similar mark with Documenting back in fourth and Silent Attack well beaten. He’s one of three Richard Hannon runners and Ryan Moore was on board stablemate Oh This Is Us when the latter won at Chelmsford recently while Magical Wish beat GHALYOON (NAP) a neck at Doncaster back in August. But that was the latter’s first outing of the year and having gone close again subsequently, Marcus Tregoning’s charge may prove the one to side with in this. Jim Crowley prefers the latter to Chelmsford runner-up Huraiz while Sir Maximilian is upped in class today and Maxi Boy makes his handicap debit on his belated reappearance.
