Verdict

SOBER GLORY proved a disappointment when finishing a well held fourth in listed company 39 days ago, yet his overall profile is a most positive one and he's well worth another chance with his sights lowered having looked a smart prospect when scoring on reappearance/hurdles bow at Chepstow previously. Dutch Corner and Yeld To Call are likely improvers who may well prove the lead threats.
