Richard Hannon sent out last year’s winner so Uncle, a half-brother to three winners, is worth a second look but GLENFINNAN has already shown a decent level of form and looks set to make it third-time lucky if he handles this easier surface. In These Shoes was keeping on over 6f at Carlisle and she’ll know more today but Pedrar has been keeping modest company in France.
