Sunglider has been raised only 2lb for winning at Wolverhampton but is upped in class and distance. Heart Locket beat Henpecked a neck to score over track and trip and is another facing a tougher task but Isharah went close in this grade at Lingfield and can race off the same mark. Age of Elegance and Island Flame were both placed over 1m2f recently and I AM NOT HERE was beaten less than a length in Class 2 company at Kempton last month. Brian Ellison’s charge should make a bold bid at this lower level and gets the nod.
