This looks wide-open with a chance taken on Roger Varian’s GOLDEN SLAM improving now handicapping for the first time. Most of the remainder look pretty exposed though Zafaranah went close at Doncaster last time and Fieldsman finished closer at Carlisle last week. Glenn Coco has won twice on the all-weather and gets a first-time tongue-tie for this while Sonnet Rose is another yet to win on Turf and Himself may do better in this lower grade.
