Verdict
Azure Glamour is yet another Kenneth Slack runner arriving here in peak form, though he only had two lengths to spare over the four-year-old Hey Bob here last month and is 6lb worse off. Sweet Midnight's third at Market Rasen was a better effort and Celtic Artisan and Beaumont's Party could figure if in the mood, though Gunner Lindley has had plenty of chances. IMPECCABILITY's record of 0-30 in career starts is hardly a ringing endorsement but she was best when the ground was riding fast on the Flat and Jamie Hamilton's claim could help her get into the firing-line at decent odds.
