Verdict

SOUND GLORIA confirmed that she's on the up when keeping on well to score at Catterick last time and can continue her progress now that she's up and running. The 3-y-o is taken to see off the challenge of Is She Now, who has made a positive start for her current stable, while Alcanzor could yet do better.
