Verdict

Not a lot of strength in depth in this contest and with GLANCE BACK building a sound reputation over fences he’s taken to follow up his Bangor win off just a 4lb higher mark having looked to be worth a little more than the winning margin last time. He generally likes to go from the front and if he gets into a rhythm around here he will be hard to catch. Railroad Junkie will enjoy this grade more than the higher level he’s been competing in and he looks the main danger. Most of the others have far from convincing profiles and need to bounce back to their earlier form to have a chance It may be worth chancing Diligent for a place on the back of a wind op; his French form puts him in the mix.
