Verdict
September Issue showed good pace at Chelmsford last month when finishing ahead of Red Alert. Glory of Paris has been in good form on Polytrack and is rated 6lb lower on Turf. Belledesert has a very respectable record on this track but looks a few pounds too high on her return. DELAGATE THIS LORD is two from two here but hasn’t raced on ground this soft before. However, he shouldn’t be inconvenienced so gets the nod ahead of The Daley Express and Jashma, who has done all of his winning so far in a lower grade and is now on a career-high mark.
