Garrel Glen ended the last campaign with a victory over 7f here and has run at a much higher level than this in her three starts earlier this summer, though she showed very little. Point In Time was beaten a nose in a Class 2 handicap at Newbury but that was on ground with some give and she ran poorly back on Polytrack at Kempton. STAGEHAND landed a Ripon maiden in July and, though having had her limitations exposed in handicaps subsequently, had Quintada five lengths behind at Wolverhampton three weeks ago and should have nothing to fear from her.
