Just Glamorous was very impressive when winning at Sandown a week ago, but he may find it hard to dominate a bigger field under a penalty here and could be vulnerable. Black Grass racked up four victories in a row earlier in the season, but his run came to an end at Newcastle last month and the handicapper surely has his measure, while Geoff Potts could also struggle to follow up his Kempton win in a higher grade. DISCREET HERO flopped when sent off the odds-on favourite at Windsor, but that race wasn’t run to suit and he could fare better here after a two month break, having won over course and distance in May.
