Ocean Glory has a decent draw and he can take advantage of this to see off the likes of Barraland and Magical Speedfit. The siginificance of the draw should not be underestimated and those boxed high will need plenty of luck in-running if they are to score. That does temper confidence with regards to the likes of Barraland and Magical Speedfit who certainly have strong form book claims but their high draw will make life tough. Ocean Glory though should be able to grab a decent pitch from stall 5 and this 2-year-old from the Peter Grayson yard showed plenty of speed on his debut when he beat Ever Hopeful at Warwick. He is unexposed and he rates as the percentage call. Others worth a mention include Thunder Bay who can reverse placings with Know No Fear who beat him last time, especially as his yard are in good form. A tricky race this for punters to fathom, but Ocean Glory makes plenty of appeal and he is nominated to grab the glory in this nursery handicap
