Verdict

A back-to-back winner of handicaps (inlcuidng over C&D) this season, GLENCORA has remained in good form since, hitting the frame in handicaps at Newmarket/Windsor in recent weeks. The step back up in trip rates a plus here and she looks sure to go well again. Grain of Sense and By Jove are others fancied to play a part.
