In depth
Verdict
GLORY AND GOLD wasn’t given a hard time on her debut at Doncaster in October and should be more the finished article now. Cotai Star ran green at Kempton and is another likely improver with cheekpieces added and both get weight from War Of Words and Wotever Next, who were shock winners at Southwell and Catterick respectively. Pearl Reef may be best of the rest.
