Formscan - After losing his unbeaten record at Sandown, SOBER GLORY bounced back to score in fine style over C&D. Likely market rival Kadastral was no match for the son of Mount Nelson off level weights at Chepstow back in November, and a 4lb pull is unlikely to be enough given the rate at which the Hobbs/White gelding is improving. Kocktail Bleu could run into a place.
