Her Terms, runner-up three times in succession including over the track and trip, was undoubtedly disappointing when only fifth at Nottingham last week. Kodicat finished around three lengths behind her in that race on this course and looks held as does Sheepscar Lad, who may find the ground a bit lively. Can't Do Spells was staying on over 6f at Carlisle so it's a surprise to find him back over the minimum and in a race where nothing really stands out it would be no surprise to see a newcomer successful. The Feathered Nest is one to keep an eye on but a chance is taken with GLORIOUS POLITICS. David Barron's 45,000gns yearling is a half-brother to three winning sprinters and out of a mare who won over this trip as a juvenile so he should have pace to burn.
