Glenridding gets the confident vote here over Sawwaah and Meditation. The selection arrives here right on top of his game and he was a decisive winner he beat Alfie Tupper here last time. There is surely more to come and he looks capable of defying a penalty to score. Sawwaah is the obvious alternative as he is also running well at present, but he only beat Given A Choice by a neck last time and he may be vulnerable under his penalty. Meditation is an admirably consistent mare but she normally reserves her best for Lingfield. United Nations is well-drawn and looks the best of the others, but for the winner we will stick with Glenridding to continue his good form.
