Many with a chance but CROWNING GLORY should have more to offer after just seven career starts and was only just denied over course and distance on her latest start. Yet to encounter any ground with soft in the description, she is given in the nod in the hope that any rain does not alter conditions. Bakht A Rawan has a chance at his best and Giovanni Di Bicci remains relatively unexposed on turf. However, Lorelina, conqueror of our selection here last time, looks the main danger despite meeting the Beckett inmate on significantly worse terms, although Ripoli and Feed The Goater also arrive in good spirits and should be on the premises in a competitive finale.
