Passing Glance gelding. Dam fairly useful 2¼m-2½m chase winner (stayed 3m), half-sister to very smart hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Dynaste. One to note in the betting on debut.

5/6
Dam 2¼m/19f hurdle/chase winner in France. Strong in betting and definite promise amidst greenness when second on hurdles bow at Newbury (2m) 37 days ago. Likely improver for a stable enjoying an excellent spell.

Wreckless Eric (5/6), Glimpse Of Glory (7/2), I Wish You (4/1), Speiriuil (12/1), Rockola (22/1), Knomorediamonds (22/1), Aire Spray (28/1), Noir Du Tay (125/1)

Verdict

An interesting clash between promising pair WRECKLESS ERIC and I Wish You, with the excellent form of the Ben Pauling stable in February tipping things in the former's favour. Jonjo O'Neill newcomer Glimpse of Glory would also need considering should the betting vibes be strong.
