GLAJOU has won over fences here in the past and is clear at the weights looking for a first success over hurdles - he’s the one to beat at this level. Overtougeorge looks next best on recent form over track and trip and makes more appeal than stable companion George Mallory while Lake Washington is dropped in class on his debut for a new yard and first outing since 2019. Makthecat and Gertcha are the least exposed.
