In depth
Verdict
A novice winner at Windsor when dropped down to today’s minimum trip, COVER UP can continue winning ways now handicapping. Four Adaay has placed on several occasions since winning at Newmarket in June including over track and trip last time while Glamorous Breeze arrives in fine form and finished third at Ascot last time. Coup De Force scored at Wolverhampton recently and looks best of the rest.
