Verdict
Glimpse Of Gold has a good strike-rate over timber and beat Manor Park here last month. But he’s upped in class for this and BEYOND THE CLOUDS (NAP) is preferred. The latter was winning off a higher mark last year and is reunited with winning partner Brian Hughes today having placed at Cartmel a fortnight ago. Jamacho scored back over hurdles at Worcester but Ludlow winner Sofia's Rock failed to cope with a 7lb rise last time.
