Verdict

This is a better race than the one won by Golden Isles at Lingfield last month but Thello will strip fitter for a recent second at Haydock and Monsieur Glory hasn’t been disgraced in three runs this term for Tom Clover, though is creeping up the weights. PACK IT IN likes to hear his hooves rattle and should go close in this finale if the rains stay away as he ran his best race for a while when third at Lingfield last time. Silver Dixie is on a winning mark and will have needed his reappearance here last month so could go well at a price with Chelwood Gate probably the pick of the remainder.
