This is a competitive little handicap and the company may be a trifle hot for veteran Glimpse Of Gold but Swaffham Bulbeck ran well for a long way at Cheltenham last month and Rouge Vif is rated 9lb higher over fences. ONEMOREFORTHEROAD is 8lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago but there was nothing wrong with his comeback run at Aintree and he’ll strip fitter today. Impulsive One has had wind surgery since his reappearance but Caramelised is penalised for winning at Plumpton and Boombawn has gone up 7lb for beating two rivals at Kempton, though the second has won since.
