Hunters Glen can land this at the expense of Darenjan and Brocatello. The selection was eye catching on his debut when second to Somersalt at Thirsk. He was sent off favourite that day but was not touched off by far and now with experience on his side and the Godophin horses running into form he can make amends this time around. Darenjan was not disgraced and ran with some promise on his debut. He looked to run very green that day so will strip fitter this time around so any market moves should be noted. Newcomer Brocatello will improve for whatever he achieves on his debut but Mark Johnstone can ready them first time of asking so again he ought to be noted. But for the winner we return to Hunters Glen.
