In depth

Verdict

The ground has turned in favour of Arizona Glory, who was placed in a higher grade at Southwell when last seen. But it will be a surprise if there isn’t more to come from SAINTBURY LADY, who appeared to have improved out of all recognition when scoring at Southwell. An 11lb hike in the weights looks an over-reaction but she may well score again. Sellingallthetime is now a nine-year-old but has placed here and at Stratford recently with Be Thankful also interesting. Excellent Team won from a 3lb higher mark over course and distance last summer but appears to have lost the plot.
