      In depth

      Verdict

      Glencora's three victories, including over the track and trip, have been at Class 6 level and she's been beaten from this mark the last twice. Grain Of Sense is taking a big drop in trip after racing over 2m at Chepstow and 1m6f in his two previous starts at Salisbury. Seven-times winner Chef De Troupe has been beaten at huge odds over further in recent weeks while BLUE MEDICI hasn't shown much in his last two starts over 1m6f. However, the latter is better at this trip as he showed at York on his previous start and is taken to get back on the winning trail. Neither Blistering Barney or By Jove are out of this moderate handicap.
