GLENIFFER posted a career best at Ayr back in June and he could have more to offer now he steps up in trip. A 5 lb rise seems fair given the manner of his victory last time and he looks the one to beat. Libby Ami won comfortably over C&D last November and she's been running well this season and she looks the biggest threat. Thaayer should appreciate the return to this venue and warrants respect.
