Lord Glitters has been keeping better company and started favourite for this last year, though only finished third. He did, however, finish ahead of My Oberon in the Lockinge in May. Duke Of Hazzard hasn’t won for two years but this is his level while Brunch is 10lb better off than when behind the upwardly-mobile Real World in the Royal Hunt Cup and has since won a Listed race at Pontefract. Showers are forecast and that will help EL DRAMA, who was no match for Baaeed at Goodwood but has been very highly tried since landing the Dee Stakes at Chester in the spring.
