Verdict
Three of these won their latest outings with Glory of Paris beating a subsequent winner over track and trip. But he’s been raised 8lb for that while Glenn Coco landed a lower grade contest here in November and steps up in trip. HOLY HEART is less exposed having won a novices’ race over today’s distance at Kempton last month and the runner-up has since won. There should be more to come from John Gosden’s charge now handicapping and he’s taken to go in again. Lacan has the beating of Scofflaw as he slips further down the weights and also beat Samphire Coast to win here early last year.
