GLORIOUS CHARMER looks worth sticking with as he bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins. He’s already accounted for the likes of Proclivity, Starjik, Coast and Prince of Rome. The latter subsequently finished behind Astrophysics and Tony Carroll’s charge looks the main danger on his victory over track and trip a fortnight ago.
