In depth
Verdict
Gold As Glass, a debut winner at Newmarket in October, hasn't made the expected progress unlike BETWEEN THE COVERS. Harry Eustace' filly has improved with every run and a debut handicap mark of 69 looks lenient after her comfortable victory at Yarmouth. D Day Arvalenreeva made a successful handicap debut over 1m4f at Leicester in May and has been racing exclusively over that trip subsequently while Showy has only been gradually improving and may be a few pounds high.
