Verdict
It could pay to stick with the less exposed types in this. It's too soon to write off Air Of Glory after a modest effort over 1m3f here while Pleasure Bent had won twice over today's trip before failing to last home over 10 furlongs at Sandown. CORNROW opened his account over track and trip earlier in the month with a subsequent winner four lengths behind. He looks capable of following up on that evidence and is preferred to Angelic Upstart and Sir Mike.
