The veteran Boom The Groom went close over track and trip earlier in the week but Spanish Angel disappointed when sent off favourite here last month. GLORIOUS CHARMER is creeping closer to getting his head back in front and having finished in front of Iconicdaay when runner-up over course and distance last time, it could be his turn again. Mintana won a classified race at Lingfield last week and will find this tougher.
