        Verdict

        Glens Wobbly was allowed an easy lead over track and trip last time and once clear of the field he romped home unchallenged. But he may not have everything his own way in this now 7lb higher and up in class and THAMES KNIGHT makes more appeal. The latter was runner-up in this grade at Brighton recently having won at Epsom last month and is also preferred over today’s distance to Windsor regular Prendergast Hill, placed over 1m2f recently. Senza Una Donna is another with something to prove over today’s trip having won twice over 1m2f this year but What A Scorcher went close off a similar mark over course and distance back in May.
