Verdict
Dual bumper winner MR GLASS has undergone wind surgery since last in action in March. Related to winning hurdlers, Paul Nicholls’ charge looks the one to beat on his return. Fishkhov has also had a wind operation since returning a beaten favourite at Bangor on his hurdling debut while Hazard Collonges and William Ewart are others to note now hurdling along with the newcomer Major Sting.
