Though the form hasn’t worked out, GLORY AND FORTUNE only had to be pushed out to win a Listed bumper at Cheltenham back in January. He looks a smart recruit to the hurdling ranks and is preferred to Get Back Get Back, a little too keen when a well-backed second over track and trip at the start of the month. Mount Windsor won bumpers at Fontwell and Plumpton in the spring so shouldn’t be left out of calculations while Keeper's Choice has won three times on the Flat, though has not been in the best of form lately.
