RIVER GLADES drops back in trip after scoring over 1m6f at Wetherby recently. But he romped home by six lengths on that occasion and Mark Johnston’s colt can go in again on that evidence. Elysees won a lower grade contest over course and distance last month but should go well again while both Eyecatcher and Teaser make more appeal than Hazarfan as all three go handicapping for the first time. Silver Crescent steps up in distance for his reappearance and is another to note sporting first-time headgear.
