Cotai Glory is one to take very careful note of and it's all a question of how fit the three-year-old is for this first run of the season. He'll need to be pretty wound up first time as there are some real speedballs on show here, none more so than the selection, TAKE COVER (NAP). He led the Kings Stand field at the Royal meeting until well inside the final furlong and should be perfectly suited to conditions and track. If he gets out quickly, he could well prove hard to catch. Stepper Point looked back to something like his best last time and could be interesting whilst there are a host of in-form northern sprinters chancing their arm in Listed grade once again or for the first time, such as Red Baron, Out Do, Line Of Reason and Monsieur Joe. Justice Day is also one to note dropping in grade.
