GLANCE BACK (NAP) took a further step forward when upped to this trip last season, winning at Southwell and Uttoxeter. He also has winning form around here and has his ground today so shouldn’t be far away if fully primed. Caboy has had a couple of runs at Perth to blow away any cobwebs and Maypole Class has also seen recent action. Subcontinent will need to improve on his fencing bow at Hereford in March but Big Chief Benny is eased in grade and looks a threat.
