Mass Media returned a losing favourite at Epsom and blinkers are added in the hope of improvement. Another Godolphin runner in Dubai Souq failed to show any progress at Sandown but an apprentice’s allowance helps his cause but Star Of Wells was sent off favourite at Sandown on his debut and never threatened. All of the above step up from 7f but GLORYANA is going the right way and wasn’t beaten that far when fourth over a mile at Kempton recently. Archie Watson’s filly may be the one to side with in this. Dark Heart is a brother to a winner and a half-brother to others and a newcomer to note.
