Verdict
Glittering Love has 10 lengths to find with JUGE ET PARTI on Carlisle running and is only a pound better off. Donna's Delight was even further behind and looks held while Kalaharry has been largely disappointing this season. Strong Economy goes well here, however, and is back on a winning mark and Niceandeasy is still relatively unexposed, though the form of his Doncaster win hasn’t worked out.
