Secret Glen, Oumeyade and Log On Intersky make the shortlist here, with Secret Glen taken to bounce back to form. Oumeyade was a faller last time after wining easily over hurdles and reverts to fences where he is rated nine pounds lower. He has raced only once over the bigger obstacles and is yet to prove that his hurdling form translates to chasing. Given his mishap over hurdles it seems a strange move. Log On Intersky turned in a much improved effort last time, belying a big starting price, only run out of it in the closing stages. The handicapper doesnt seem to have rated that much improved effort, raising him only a pound and he can go well again. Secret Glen came back from a lay off at Exeter last time and was well beaten. However, his general profile is upward, and he won well in similar conditions at Plumpton four outings ago. Refreshed from his break, and sharpened up by his recent outing, Secret Glen is a sporting selection.
