Verdict
It may seem harsh to desert Platinum Charmer whilst he is in such good heart but Miss Glory Be has every chance of reversing the Warwick form with Karl Burke's improved charge and she gets the nod this time around. Wizard Looking and Vanilla Moon are forwarded as dangers from the rest. The last named is of only modest ability but has shaped as if she can land a small prize somewhere along the line. However, she is a long standing maiden and needs to produce something out of the hat here. Wizard Looking is worth a try at the trip and is another in good heart. He has obviously enjoyed the switch to John Wainwright's yard and is one to seriously monitor in the betting market. Platinum Charmer has been a revelation this month and will be bidding for a fifth consecutive success here. However, Miss Glory Be has the edge on the revised terms and is expected to give Jamie Spencer another push on his quest for the jockey's title.
