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.
