Verdict

BALLYGLASHEEN (NAP) was held up to get the trip last time at Newton Abbot but never threatened. He's reunited here with Paul Moloney, who rode him when he was a fast-finishing fourth in the Swinton Hurdle at Haydock in the spring - a repeat of that effort today would probably suffice. King Muro needs to be delivered late but has won his last two over timber at Bangor and Worcester and Sleeping City is also on a hat-trick. Cool Macavity will strip fitter for his third at Worcester and looks the pick of the remainder.
