Armed with a terrific pedigree, GLITTERING GEM is an appealing newcomer and the hint should be taken if she's strong in the betting. Indian River and Juniper Sling can both reverse Roscommon placings with Simurgh over this two-furlong shorter trip and they're feared most in that order of preference, while Appeared and Dawn Coming are both open to improvement and Duvessa is another interesting newcomer.
