Spyglass Hill makes his handicap debut and hasn't won yet but he looks a progressive staying type who should give a good account. Cappacurry Zak won over fences here in March and a recent run over timber after a break will have put him right while THERELLALWAYSBEONE was well supported when beating Silver Planeur over the course and distance in November. He's up 7lb but that was his first start since April and he should confirm the form with the runner-up and land this. Captainofthefleet was behind in that latter race but has won around here and is very well handicapped at his best while Yeats Baby would have to be considered if getting a run from first reserve.
