      Verdict

      An interesting contest, despite the small field, but GLENO profited from wind surgery and more positive tactics to get back at winning ways at Lingfield and could defy a 6lb rise here with a similar effort even though Rumble B wasn’t beaten far in third and is better off at the weights. Finalshot was a well-beaten third on his chasing bow at Wincanton but will know more today and is preferred to Top Up The Fashion.
