GRABTHEGLORY followed up a debut third at Kempton with a better effort at Fontwell last time when runner-up to Royal Guardsman with today's rival Cariboo Lady well behind. That form is way ahead of anything today's rivals have shown so far and Gary Moore's gelding is likely to start a short-price here. Prairie Hero finished second on his debut last August and should go well on his return along with Tinagenic, whose recent effort at Taunton was a big improvement on her debut. The remainder look up against it in this company.
