In depth
Verdict
Gladys Aylward is taken to score in this trappy affair she has shown ability on all her starts being placed each time, she was a good second at Thisk last time out behind Excess Baggage and she need only to improve slightly to open her account here. Sparky's Mate is another to consider he was a good second at Goodwood last time out where he led everywhere bar the line and if he is allowed to dominate he will be a danger to all. Divine Light was behind Sparky's Mate at Goodwood last time out and there is no reason why he should reverse the placing here. You Never Know was well backed at Beverly last time out when third and is obviously thought capable of better and is worth a cautionary look in the market. The betting will be the best guide to those with no racecourse experience.
