In depth
Verdict
GLORIOUS POLITICS missed out by only a short-head when runner-up over track and trip in November. That is much the best form on offer and he can go one better in this. School Run showed some promise when placed at Wolverhampton on her debut with Ventura Jazz well beaten and may improve past the more exposed Spinnaker Bay. Hart Stopper hasn’t raced since third at Haydock in May but may still prove best of the rest.
