After a promising hurdles debut over this C&D, Glenora Gale was sent off at odds-on in MICRO MISSION's race at Kelso last month but unseated Peter Buchanan at the second flight. She subsequently disappointed at Carlisle and is becoming expensive to follow so we'll stick with Chris Grant's mare, who probably has the scope to defy her penalty. Skenakilla Cross looks held by Glenora Gale on the form book, as does Thirty Days Out, who was just starting to struggle when falling at Musselburgh last time.
