Glamorous Rocket completed a hat-trick at a lower level and had gone up 10lb from her latest success when only third in this grade at Haydock. Anonymous John hadn't been beaten far in two runs on fast going last month before scoring at Wolverhampton. He can race from just 3lb higher back on Turf despite a penalty and has to be respected. Desert Fox, who was disqualified after losing his weight cloth at Newbury, is tackling the minimum for the first time but has always shown plenty of pace and could be suited. Kasbah has been going well at this level without quite getting there and doesn't win very often but Waseem Faris won easily at Bath and though 7lb higher loves the conditions and his young rider's claim should help again. DELAGATE THIS LORD completed a hat-trick last summer and shot up the weights. His close second over this track and trip last month suggests he's back in form and he can return to winning ways.
