In depth
Verdict
Gloweth’s run at Sandown should have blown away a few cobwebs and Foxy Femme is another who will strip fitter for a recent pipe-opener. Clive Cox is a leading trainer at the track but Able Grace hasn’t raced since October. DEVIL’S CUB was well backed here three weeks ago and never gave supporters a moment’s worry, making all for a comfortable success. He’s gone up 5lb but might take some catching again.
