Glimpse Of Gold is in the veteran stage now but has won twice this season and came up against a well-treated rival at Fontwell two weeks ago. A winner on the Flat last month, See The Sea may face a battle for the lead from Just The Man and Ray's The One and a strong pace would suit THIBAULT (NAP), who didn’t enjoy heavy going at Epsom 10 days ago. Adam West’s versatile gelding can give the weight away to Stratford winner Sergeant with his rider taking off a valuable 7lb.
