Verdict

Second in the Golden Jubilee here in June, GLEN SHIEL has been keeping good company all season. He’s not been at his best the last twice but gets another chance eased in grade for this. Bielsa ploughed a lone furrow to beat Great Ambassador in the Ayr Gold Cup two weeks ago but the runner-up is now 8lb better off and may turn the tables given he has a more progressive profile. King's Lynn is possibly best over 5f and was behind Diligent Harry and Tabdeed at Newbury in July.
