In depth
Verdict
There's little between Dualagi and Amber Heights on their running at Lingfield last month. The latter has since gone close again when beaten only a head over C&D in a maiden race, but GLASTONBERRY has to be the choice. She was having only her fourth start when landing a handicap over track and trip in October and there should be more to come here. Liberal Lady should have improved for her recent comeback run and gets first-time headgear, while Force To Spend had Slatey Hen behind when fourth at Lingfield during the week.
