Stewards Note:
GLITTER CODE: Following its run on 26/6/2026 it was reported that the horse returned lame.
THE TIMEFORM VIEW GLITTER CODE’s tendency to start slowly tempers enthusiasm to a degree but he’s not been seen to best effect either start since his promising stable debut second at Beverley in the spring and could be worth chancing to gain a belated breakthrough success. Last year’s winner Star Start and Sunny Orange arrive in good heart and look sure to be in the shake up also.
TIMEFORM PREDICTION:

TIMEFORM VIEW Still looking for a first victory but positive start for this stable when runner-up at Beverley (8.5f) in April. Excuses in 2 runs since, leaving the impression he shouldhavefinishedcloserwhenseventhatNewcastle6weeksago.Blinkersgobackon and claims forall slowstarts are a concern.
