Promising start when second of 5 in bumper at Bangor (16.7f, heavy, 3/1) in December. This looks a good bit more competitive, though.

Forecasts

Hartnoll Hero (9/5), Sandy Brook (5/2), Francolin (4/1), Dazzling Glory (9/2), On The Bandwagon (6/1), Moriko De Vassy (8/1), Chanceux (11/1), Idle Speculation (12/1), Tara Chieftain (12/1), Lady Ellie (40/1), Flick The Switch (50/1), A Midnight Kiss (80/1), Jukebox Junior (100/1)

Verdict

DAZZLING GLORY has plenty of experience between the flags, off the mark at the fourth attempt in December, so he's worth chancing now embarking on a Rules career for a top stable. Hartnoll Hero and Sandy Brook set the standard in terms of what has been achieved in bumpers, so they're also respected along with the well-bred Francolin.

  1. DAZZLING GLORY (IRE)
  2. HARTNOLL HERO (IRE)
  3. SANDY BROOK (IRE)
