Verdict
Shantou Sunset won at Stratford back in May but is having a first run for a new stable here. Victorias Peak would have a chance on her second at Newbury in January and has won since at Hexham with her latest second coming in a match over fences but GLIMPSE OF GALA is preferred. She has run well in defeat at Warwick and Aintree this term and Bradley Roberts takes off a handy 7lb. Terresita, who is 3-7 over hurdles, may be the danger if ready to roll ahead of Coquelicot.
