Verdict
GLORY DAYS bids to go one better than in the Listed Breeders Guineas here two weeks ago. She should have no problem with the extra furlong and is fancied to again get the better of Blushing Bride, Calandra, World Squared and Palace Queen. Wylie’s Flame arrives off the back of a victory in a handicap but this is a much sterner test, though she could make the frame. Ascending Heights’ good recent form has also come in handicaps and Keeper Of The Keys will need to up her game to win in this company.
