This is a rise in grade for Glasses Up but given his fantastic record at this track & the form he is currently in, he is still likely to be involved to some degree under a penalty. It would be no surprise to see Ironclad bounce back from a below-par reappearance & this weaker race gives him the opportunity to do so. Similar comments apply to Medal Winner who is not written off yet with the return to 1m2f a positive, though he does need to show some improvement from his latest effort. The one to beat is MASTER THE STARS though who got off to a winning start in handicaps when succesful on the AW at Newcastle. He can go in again off just a 4lb higher mark.
