Verdict
A wide open handicap here with very little between many of the fancied runners but the principals look to be Gilded Cove, Another Glimpse and Cape St Vincent and the vote goes to Gilded Cove. The selection has won his last two races in good style defeating the good yard stick Teyaar last time. He is rising in the weights but with the step back up to six furlongs sure to bring out some more improvement he will be hard to beat. Another Glimpse rates the main danger on his latest third behind Forever Phoenix but he may just be in the handicappers grip and he is unproven on this surface so he is passed over on this occasion. Cape St Vincent is another that could go well but he was very disappointing on his first run this season. However the switch back to this surface should bring out some improvement and he is a danger to all off what looks a fair mark. Noble Locks is another that could go well he shaped as is if returning to form when fourth behind Blakeshall quest so he is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to the in form Gilded Cove.
