Verdict
About Glory ended a long losing run when fitted with headgear over track and trip last time. He just got the better of Red Gunner on that occasion and it looks tight between that pair once again. Valentine Mist finished well behind in the above race having beaten Rocksette when scoring over course and distance before that and DUKE OF DUNABAR is preferred. The latter ran well at Chelmsford on his first start since May having undergone wind surgery during the interim and Roger Teal’s unexposed charge should be sharper today.
