Verdict
RACE TO GLORY (NAP) has yet to win a race of any description but went very close in a driving finish at Newton Abbot at the end of April and it will be disappointing if he can't go one better in this. Zarawi was far too keen last time at Uttoxeter after winning at Plumpton and will need to settle better to get home here and none of the others have shown a great deal lately. Wincanton fifth Catcharose may be the best of them as she was once placed here in a bumper.
