Winner of this 12 months ago, Glance Back is back on the same mark and may have been aimed at the race again. Duhallow Lad was a course and distance winner in December and second at Fakenham two days later so could figure if ready after a break. Generation Gap remains winless but was staying on at Catterick when falling two out. DISCKO DES PLAGES (NAP) has not been able to go the pace over 2m recently so will relish a step back up in distance given he stayed on strongly over 2m3f at Catterick in December and was later a good third over the same trip at Doncaster. Frisson Collonges remains unexposed but will need to jump better than at Ayr in October.
