In depth
Verdict
Szarratu won over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton with both Windsorlot and New Look behind while Pearl Spectre also steps up in distance after scoring over a mile at Kempton. ABOUT GLORY was beaten less than a length over a similar trip at Wolverhampton last week and Roy Bowring’s charge should give another good account. Headley George is one of the least exposed and Mdina may do better back at this venue after a poor effort behind the selection.
