Tim Vaughan and Alan Johns have been operating at strike rates of 23% and 27% respectively over the past two weeks and FIELDS OF GLORY can add to that tally. He was not troubled to beat some exposed handicappers last time where he won with more in hand than the winning margin suggests. That form suggests he may still be a few pounds ahead of the pack. He faces dangers here in the shape of the improving Nomoreblackjack and Cactus Valley from the in form yard of Mick Easterby. Both look set to win races in this sphere before too long and a market move for either would make them even more interesting. 1. Fields of Glory 2. Nomoreblackjack 3. Cactus Valley
