In depth
Verdict
Cape Of Glory has been placed over track and trip the last twice and should be in the firing-line once again. But he has to give plenty of weight to WYNFORD, if Rob Hornby's allowance is taken into account, and the latter will likely have improved for a debut outing at Newmarket in August. Lilly Vega posted a better effort when runner-up here last month and Petticoated Pirate finished a lot closer when fifth at Wolverhampton last time. Zio Gianni was beaten only a short-head at Lingfield earlier and is another with claims.
