Rostello drops back down in class with a shout but Glendruid was beaten over fences last time having won off an 8lb lower over timber at Ludlow before that. Moans Cross went close at Newton Abbot, despite a mistake at the last, and can figure again but AHEAD OF SCHEDULE makes more appeal. The latter only beat Wavecrest by a neck over track and trip recently but that was his first outing over fences and he can confirm running despite today’s worse terms.
