In depth
Verdict
GLINT OF AN EYE has been raised 3lb for winning here last month but an apprentice’s allowance takes care of that and Henry Spiller’s charge has the beating of Eltham Palace on collateral form. The latter has placed on her last three outings now but Captain St Lucifer was still well beaten when second at Yarmouth with Winter Snowdrop well behind. Beyond Infinity has only raced at Southwell so far without looking like winning.
