In depth
Verdict
GLORY AND GOLD (NAP) ran fresh over a mile at Thirsk on her reappearance and paid the price in the closing stages. This shorter trip will suit and William Haggas' filly gets the vote. Lila Girl placed over track and trip in November and returns to action while Double Time is a likely improver after missing the break at Wetherby on her introduction. Rogue Missile is related to a winner in Italy and makes her belated debut.
