GLITZY D'OCALA caught the eye on his debut and is taken to go one better at the expense of Saintly Lady and No Woman No Cry. The selection finished second of eleven at Fontwell on his race course debut last month. He showed real promise that day and with the experience behind him he should take all the beating this time around. Saintly Lady won on her debut at Hereford in December and has been placed twice since. To win a bumper with a penalty is not an easy thing to achieve and she may find one too good for her once again. No Woman No Cry has shown promise in his two bumpers and is another to add to the short list but Glitzy D'ocala looks the class act and is difficult to oppose in the finale.
