Race preview
Glory Of The Seas could prove popular in the Godolphin blue for Roger Varian, but he needs to take a step forward after a seven-and-a-half-length fourth at Newbury. GALIYAN showed his inexperience on debut at Newmarket when ducking at the start and running green before finishing fourth, but it will be a huge surprise if he doesn't learn plenty from that experience. Joulany is getting better with racing and cannot be discounted, while Distorted Truth needs forgiving her last run to figure.
