In depth
Verdict
GLEN AGAIN's two runs have been at Newcastle and he will have found a mile on the short side when chasing home the odds-on Flyin' High 10 days ago. The front-running Defined looks there to be shot at as he's been looking one-paced at the business end while the former Ballydoyle inmate Yankee Stadium has never raced on the all-weather and may just need his first start for new connections. Countessa is by Camelot out of a 7f winner from a classic family and she wouldn't need to be special to make a successful debut.
