Aspire To Glory puts in another gallant effort at Wolverhampton to claim minor prize money
Aspire To Glory broke well from stall seven in the middle of the field, although he did try to go forward a touch early in his typical keen fashion. Following his previous three runs, where he burst out of the gates to try and take up the running, he rather expectedly made his way into a prominent position in the field, albeit slightly wider than ideal.
Our five-year-old took the lead with around a furlong to go after travelling into the race beautifully, but was reined in by Twitch, Midnight's Dream and Imelda inside the closing stages of the contest. Jockey, Marco Ghiani, then found himself short of running room inside the last half furlong, with the front four in the contest bunching up in a tightly contested finish in which Aspire To Glory just got touched off by a nose to finish fourth, and just over a length behind the winner of the race, Twitch.

We caught up with Dylan Cunha the morning after the race to find out how Aspire To Glory came out of the contest and to see where we might catch him in action next:
Aspire To Glory has come out of Tuesday's race at Wolverhampton really well. He eaten well, trotted up fine and looks like he's in a good space this morning.
As we move further into the all-weather season, there will be plenty of opportunities there for him to get back in action so we'll take a look at the book and see what looks like the best option.
It shouldn't be too long until we see Aspire To Glory back in action, and hopefully back in the Winners' Enclosure, following what was another positive run for the Club's most successful horse. Keep an eye on the Coral Racing Club to find out how you could be one of his Owners for the Day the next time he finds himself back on the racecourse!
