Verdict

Alflaila could only manage fourth carrying a penalty at Yarmouth for an earlier success at Salisbury. He’ll be in the mix again but the Frankel filly MAJESTIC GLORY can make the most of the weight concession having just failed to catch the winner at Newbury last time. Mystery Fox returned a beaten favourite at Chelmsford but may do better back on this surface while Bell Shot drops down in trip having attempted to make all over 7f last time. Laheg is the first foal of a winning sprinter and a newcomer to note.
