Fiendishly-competitive stuff with a punt taken on STRONG GLANCE. Olly Murphy's charge shaped encouragingly initally this term and, on the back of two ready jumpers bumper victories he's worth chancing to prove a mark of 131 lenient. Thyme White should come forward for his Betfair Hurdle run and is respected along with Eclair de Beaufeu. You Raised Me Up and Ganapathi complete the shortlist.
