In depth
Verdict
Davitt Road Glory has switched stables and hasn’t run since November last year. LITTLE JESSTURE has turned into a real course specialist and she may hold a fitness advantage over likely market rival The Height Of Fame, who has had a break since completing a double at Fontwell in May. Maroochi has every chance of making the frame again with the lightly-raced Blitz Spirit and Quiet Thunder looking the pick of the remainder.
