Bishop's Glory was well supported at Southwell but found one too good and the close third has been beaten subsequently. The winner is trained by David Loughnane, who has COMMANDER STRAKER engaged here. He attempted to make all in what looked a decent maiden at Newbury and stayed on well when headed a furlong out so looks the one to beat. Machito was beaten six lengths at Doncaster and the remaining pair with experience were beaten even further. Breege has a very smart pedigree and is one to keep an eye on.
