Verdict

Not a race to be going overboard about with last year's winner La Fritillaire returning to defend her crown bit being in nowhere the same sort of form. Fitzwilly probably sets the form standard and dropping in grade he's hard to leave out of the equation despite looking rather laboured last time out. Firestorm still sits on a very attractive mark if he can regain his Newbury form while Theglasgowwarrior is better than most here if he stays. In the end though a chance is taken with SILVER GLEAM who could be up to winning something like this if she stays and repeats her last run over 1m4f with a more prominent ride possibly being of use.
