      Verdict

      Glasses Up makes a belated debut on the all-weather having finished in front of Greengage when second at Ayr last time. The latter can do better back on this surface and the same comment applies to KHATM. George Boughey’s charge struggled upped in class and trip at Doncaster last time but was runner-up over course and distance before that. Songkran beat Culture over a shorter trip here early in the year but Crown Power is less exposed.
