Rosario¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K Shoemark| T: R A Teal| OR: 91| CD

11/4

Has ability at 5f but repeatedly hampered by starting problems and in-running behaviour. Fifth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (12/1) 14 days ago, very slowly away after blindfold issues but made late progress despite carrying head awkwardly. Cheekpieces removed, has winning form over C&D.

All Ways Glamorous¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Gina Mangan| T: C Mason| OR: 81| D

11/4

5f handicapper with two wins and a narrow second from last five starts. Fifth of 12 at Chepstow (7/2) 16 days ago, awkward leaving stalls but kept on to be nearest at the finish. On a nice mark based on impressive Chepstow win in June.

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 73| D

18/1

Poor course form, including 19th of 20 here in July, before finishing fifth of 11 in 5f handicap at Newbury (16/1) 7 days ago. Tends to do too much early and weaken late. 3 lb out of handicap.

Forecasts

All Ways Glamorous (11/4), Rosario (11/4), Grandlad (4/1), Queen All Star (5/1), Seven Questions (7/1), Dream Composer (8/1), Desert Cop (16/1), Cinque Verde (16/1), Faustus (18/1), Ziggy's Missile (25/1)

ALL WAYS GLAMOROUS has been a model of consistency with two wins and a narrow second from his last five starts and he remains on a workable mark. Dream Composer is becoming well handicapped and is back down in class, while Queen All Star is worth another chance back at a more suitable level.
