Verdict
LANGLEY VALE hasn't looked like winning yet but neither has any of today's opposition. He's the token selection on his placed effort behind the progressive Khubala over today's trip back in April. Marah Music has also finished in the money on a couple of occasions but over a longer distance while Pharoh Jake was beaten a couple of lengths over the minimum trip at this track last month. Glennten has gone backwards since an earlier third at Kempton but has dropped down the weights as a consequence, but The Wonga Coup was still beaten seven lengths when third here last time.
