Formscan - Gladius boasts an appealing profile with two wins from three starts, most recently making a winning handicap debut at Sandown, and the booking of William Buick is another positive. Boyfriend was far from disgraced in fourth in this grade at Newmarket and is noted, but INDALO gets the vote. Roger Varian's charge produced a career-best performance to score over a mile at Sandown recently and a 5lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side.
