Glen Cove¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: D M Simcock| OR: 63

10/1

No better than mid-field in 3 qualifying runs but he has quite a useful pedigree and it would be no surprise to see him fare a good deal better now handicapping. All the more interesting if backed.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 60

9/1

Well held on turf last twice but was twice runner-up on Lingfield's polytrack in March so no shock if a return to AW sparks a revival.

Forecasts

Chequer Square (16/5), Cotai Star (11/2), Easy With Aces (6/1), Bazalgette (7/1), Kanuhura (8/1), Salonica (9/1), Glen Cove (10/1), Takeustothemoon (10/1), Fifty Sent (12/1), Famille Verte (22/1)

FIFTY SENT has the profile of one who could fare better now handicapping over a longer trip so he's the suggestion. Glen Cove is another who looks to have been brought along with hadicaps in mind so he's put up as the chief threat ahead of Mick Channon's Bazalgette, who ran 2 solid races on his return to action last month.
