        Verdict

        A winner over course and distance last month, THEGLASGOWWARRIOR arrives in the best form of these and is taken to shrug off a 3lb rise. Today’s opposition inspires little confidence though Luv U Whatever has gone close off similar marks in the past and Genres won the amateurs' race on last year’s card. The veteran Itlaaq has won off higher marks on the Turf and Galilee Chapel was placed over track and trip in between his more usual modest efforts.
