In depth
Verdict
Glamorous Crescent escapes a penalty for winning an apprentices’ race at Windsor but that was over 6f in soft ground. Grandstand finished in front of Right Action when going close at Ffos Las and the latter is fitted with a tongue-tie but BOUNTY PURSUIT won the last renewal of this in 2019. The latter has slipped down the handicap since and gets another chance today having missed out by only a neck when last racing over track and trip in June. Defilade and Inner Circle look best of the rest.
