LORD GLITTERS caught the eye when coming home a fast finishing second over 7f here earlier this month and the ex-French-trained gelding, already a winner twice over this trip in 2017 can take the concluding contest on this prestigious card. Zabeel Prince, a progressive individual chasing a four-timer for a leading yard is taken to claim second while Speculative Bid who has won here in the past and is likely to have improved for his return from a long absence can claim third ahead of recent course winner Accidental Agent and the three-year-old The Grape Escape.
