Verdict
EMBER’S GLOW ran no sort of race back on Turf last time but had been thereabouts on the all-weather before that. He may prove good enough despite returning from a lay-off. Mr Sundowner finished second in an amateurs race at Nottingham recently looking for a first win since 2017 while Lady Of York’s earlier success came over 1m2f at Chelmsford and she ran poorly here last time. Archippos has yet to win on the all-weather and Relative Ease may prove best of the rest.
