SOARING GLORY, successful twice in bumpers, looked one to follow over hurdles when quickening past Bravemansgame at Chepstow. The runner-up easily went one better at Exeter on Tuesday and Jonjo O’Neill’s charge can defy a penalty. Danehill Kodiac was decent sort over middle-distance on the Flat but may need the run and the experience. Dusart has a cracking pedigree for jumping being a half-brother to four winners including the top-class Simonsig and winning pointer Amarillo Sky is also a nice long-term prospect. No Risk Des Flos travelled strongly for a long way in a Carlisle bumper three weeks ago and is another with a future.
