A race with more questions than answers with Valerun, Navado and Glacial Delight highlighted and the vote going to the last named. Carrying a penalty for his latest win at Exeter when beating Moorland Monarch by a convincing eight lengths Glacial Delight has to be respected as his connections feel his rating will be effected so have decided to reappear quickly. Valerun comes from a shrewd yard and that fact that he has had over a year off should not put people off as this horse tends to run well fresh and if retaining his ability will have a chance as will Navado who has been a little inconsistent in the past but his stable are now in form and is worth noting in the betting market. But for the winner we return to Glacial Delight.
