GREAT GLEN is rated 97 and looks the one to beat back in maiden company. He has been competing in Listed races including the Queen's Vase at Ascot and should be opening his account in this. Mark Hopkins steps up in distance after making a decent start when placed at Newbury while Mishghar showed a bit more at Lingfield last time without looking like winning. Fast Pick has shown only modest form to date while the newcomer Duke Of Diamonds is stoutly bred and related to three winners.
