In depth
Verdict
This is wide-open but GLAMOROUS FORCE showed a big improvement at Wolverhampton when handicapping for the first time and the fitting of cheekpieces may bring further progress. He debuts on the Fibresand along with Casaruan and Microscopic and the latter pair are not without claims while Mews House drops down a grade on the back of a fifth over track and trip. Alex Gracie failed to show any progress in novice races here while Navajo Dawn has finished in front of Quiet Word the last twice now without looking like winning.
