A couple stand out on recent form though Toplight’s victory here last month came in classified company. GLORIOUS CHARMER is preferred having been in good form since returning to the minimum trip and returning a clear winner over course and distance last time. Fair And Square placed here back in November though has yet to win in 28 starts so far. Autumn Flight has slipped down the weights but looks no nearer taking advantage.
