In depth
Verdict
Just Glamorous has won at Salisbury and Windsor this year but Bob Cowell saddles three of the nine runners in this and will fancy his chances of picking up a chunk of the prize money. Blue De Vega has been a grand servant to connections but ISHVARA was second off an 8lb higher mark when last running in this grade and James Doyle could be a significant jockey booking so he could be the pick of the trio. Dream Composer is interesting but the going may have turned against the three-year-olds Four Adaay and Ready Freddie Go.
