In depth
Verdict
Paddy Harnett has been booked to reduce the huge burden of Simply Glorious, who looked progressive when landing a 7f maiden here in November. SINGSONG LADY won a 7f maiden in January but was disqualified and placed second after finishing first past over a mile last month. An opening mark of 73 looks fair and she has Robert Whearty's claim as a bonus. The front-running Cryptos Dream was caught in the closing stages when tackling 1m2f last month and holds Obliviate on the form with the shorter trip in her favour. The Pargey Bee looked a likely future winner when runner-up over 7f in January and didn't quite get the run of the race next time while Dubirango is just 2lb higher than when scoring over 7f early last month.
