SHADY GLEN (NAP) couldn’t prevent Pawn Star from completing a double at Worcester last time but was beaten less than a length and finished well clear of the rest including Adam Du Breteau. The latter had earlier beaten Alanjou at Worcester which gives Henry Tett’s charge plenty to find with the selection. The remainder are all looking to put below par efforts behind them and Broughtons Bandit was still tailed off when third at Fontwell recently. Take A Bow may do better now back over fences but Cartmel winner Mr Burgees has not raced for nearly a year.
