In depth

Verdict

Glingerbank is selected here ahead of Majorca and My Condor. Glingerbank comes here as a lightly raced and progressive type. Having won two races, he then ran well to finish second in a valuable Cheltenham handicap and a three-pounds rise for that run seems fair as he faces the larger obstacles for the first time. Majorca beat two higher rated rivals and created a favourable impression when winning on his chasing debut and we'll find out a lot more about him today. Despite being well-handicapped on his 2005/06 hurdling form, Cantgeton has something to prove based on more recent efforts, but My Condor comes here at the top of his game and looks set to make a bold bid from the front as he bids to bring up a hat trick of wins. Finally, the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained Peacock is one to watch out for in the betting but, for the selection, we return to Glingerbank.
