Not many can be fancied here, and it may be that Height Of Glory can beat Rock Haven, with Accomplish the other one to consider. Height Of Glory has more scope than most, having had just three career outings to date, two of them here on the Polytrack. The son of Grand Lodge has been confined to sprint trips only so far, but now tackles a trip more in keeping with his breeding, and with the tongue-tie to help, he is taken to open his account. Rock Haven was doing all his best work at the finish on his handicap debut at Nottingham last month and so is another that will relish the step up in trip. Walter Swinburn has his team in good order at present, so his challenger should be a banker for the frame at least. Accomplish landed a poor maiden on the Southwell fibresand in April but has been taken off his feet on fast ground since then and it remains to be seen how he will handle the Polytrack. It looks a toss up between the first two mentioned really, with the vote going to Height Of Glory.
