      Verdict

      Glan Y Gors defied a penalty last time to land a course and distance double. He beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and should be competitive again raised only 3lb but CLAIRE UNDERWOOD (NAP) is preferred. Formerly trained in Ireland, she’s won two of only five starts since joining Richard Fahey and there looks more to come from her stepping up in distance today. The consistent Loud And Clear should run his race once again having won three times here since October while Native Fighter won twice at Kempton last year and debuts for new connections on his return having been gelded in the interim.
