All look fully exposed as if often the case in such contests. Novel Dancer and Magicalmysterytour are tightly handicapped on their running here in April when the former prevailed in a photo. There should be little between them once again. Course winner Litmus went well at Brighton last month but has yet to tackle this trip whilst consistent veteran, Daniel Thomas, is also unproven over this distance of ground. Indeed, the same applies to GLENNTEN, a former sprinter who has been upped in trip dramatically since joining Sean Curran. He was always travelling sweetly when scoring with plenty in hand here 13 days ago on his first venture over 1m2f and was certainly not stopping at the end. He should handle the additional 2f on that evidence and is taken to follow up.
