Verdict

There are probably a few too many question marks surrounding Hayward Field, for all he should relish the step up in trip, so the suggestion is STAR GLITTER. David O'Meara's charge ran well on handicap debut at Catterick when last seen and given he remains on the same mark as when being beaten only 4L into fourth that day (having been sent off favourite), he is the selection. At a likely bigger price a small chance is given to Ice Galley, who went close to winning a maiden (also at Catterick) last year and has looked like the sort to improve for a step up to a staying distance.
