In depth
Verdict
About Glory carries a penalty after landing a double at Bath though should go well again in his current form. Corked steps up in distance on the back of a couple of placed efforts at Beverley but POETIC LEGACY makes most appeal. The latter won easily at Chelmsford on her first outing over today’s trip and 6lb extra may not be enough to anchor Mark Johnston’s filly in this. Tails I Win was second over a mile at Wolverhampton still looking to break her duck and My Renaissance is preferred having placed here when last racing on the Flat.
