The eye is drawn to GLORIOUS LION (NAP), who will appreciate this step up in distance and makes his handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces having been gelded last month.

Wadacre Gomez has been progressing nicely on Tapeta and Polytrack and he’ll be a threat to all if transferring the form of his Newcastle victory to this surface.
