Verdict
TRUE TO FORM landed a massive gamble at Wolverhampton on Saturday. He looks set to follow-up despite a penalty given he won four times in a fortnight when trained by Sir Mark Prescott last year. Glass Mountain was all out to win over a mile at Yarmouth last time but there may be more to come over this longer trip, while Mister Bit reverted to type when well beaten at Kempton recently having won at Folkestone before that. Penang Cinta scored over C&D a week ago and remains on a winning mark and the unexposed Dust Cloud is another to consider.
