Glengarry is at the head of the weights courtesy of a narrow defeat over a mile at Ayr and he found 6f too short at Hamilton. Irish Optimism doesn't appear to have progressed since landing a 6f maiden at Ayr in April while Arcane Dancer was beaten seven lengths into second at Beverley after winning there previously. REGAL RESPONSE appeared to get outpaced on the fast ground at Thirsk before staying on and could do with the ground to ease though he's only had four starts and has the scope to gain his first victory.
