Verdict

A good run in the first by Glance Back would be a pointer to the chances of MUST HAVEA FLUTTER, who gets the nod in an uncompetitive affair. Dan Skelton’s gelding is almost certain to make a better chaser than hurdler given his point-to-point background. Dylanseoghan has won between the flags and gone close a couple of times over fences, including once here. He looks the danger ahead of Doncaster third Grow Nasa Grow and chasing debutant Heresmynumber. Psychocandy has more letters than numbers among recent form figures but Clondaw Westie may do better now tackling fences.
