We saidWon at 13/2
GLADIADORA 10/1
GLADIADORA at 10/1, Charlie Clover with Liam Wright taking off 3lb, is the one — exactly the sort of race we are looking for. He won by 5.5 lengths and was raised only 1lb for it, leaving 8.6lb in hand and has a course win to his name.
The dangers are ROYAL COUNTY GLORY at 9/4 (went close off this mark) and SAILOR'S RETURN at 7/1 (a course winner).
