In depth
Verdict
Stir Trader is likely to be a warm order for this having only found one too good in his three starts to date. But he doesn't appear to have a change of gear and may be poor value. We'll take on Roger Charlton's charge with GLADIATRIX, who has her fillies' allowance and has also shown a liking for ground with plenty of give. She's not far behind on official ratings. Angel Way is also worth a second look as she ran her best race so far when dropped in trip at Leopardstown but the others have little to recommend them.
