Glan Y Gors was quite impressive over course and distance earlier this month and should again beat third The Steward, who won this last year, and the unplaced Burdigala. Constancio made a pleasing return to action in a better race than this at Southwell and will likely strip fitter today but BEENO, a five-times winner here including this race in 2017, showed he was no back number when second to an odds-on favourite at Perth last month and shouldn’t be far away again.
