Gloryous heads this Kempton mile-and-a-half heat narrowly ahead of the chasing pack on our ratings, and there is every reason to believe she can translate that edge into a winning performance on the all-weather surface. Affection and Bint Kilfrush represent the most credible threats, each running off ratings in the mid-eighties, while Big Bear Hug will not be without a chance either, though all three face the task of overturning a meaningful gap at the head of the rankings. With the standard-to-slow conditions likely to suit a galloping type over this trip, the selection looks well-placed to dictate terms and hold on. The verdict is with Gloryous.
