Monsieur Glory steps up in trip and class after winning at Beverley, though a 4lb rise is cancelled out by Anna Hesketh’s allowance. Wotabreeze won at Catterick last month and is also upped a grade along with recent course and distance runner-up Correggio. ODEON (NAP) has been competing in tougher handicaps since scoring at Doncaster and James Given’s charge can return to winning ways back at this level. San Quentin and Itlaaq have struggled off higher marks since winning earlier this year and are harder to recommend.
