In depth
Verdict
A cracking little heat that is sure to be strongly contested. Common Thought posted a decent effort last time and should be able to play a strong hand if he runs up to that form (the winner was far from disgraced at Ascot yesterday). However, Grecian Glory is open to any amount of improvement and should give a better account of herself now that she is stepped up to a mile. Sentimental Value and is feared as the biggest danger considering her trainer's record at this course.
