Verdict
Only a pound separates GLOBAL FAMENGLORY and Shandancer on official ratings but Dan Skelton’s charge is receiving 7lb thanks to her mares’ allowance so looks the one to be on. Crystal Times may do better now tackling hurdles but Astroman is only a plater and winning pointer Joe Cotton was tailed off on his debut under Rules.
