In depth
Verdict
Glamorous Force has been in good form at Brighton having won at the latter track last month. But he’d earlier finished behind third-placed AQUADABRA over course and distance and Chris Mason’s charge looks set to end a long losing run. Captain Ryan and Aguerooo have both been thereabouts on the all-weather lately with the former raised 4lb after scoring at Wolverhampton but Finvarra drops down from a mile looking for his first win.
