Glendermot held on to justify favouritism at Leicester earlier this month but is a tricky ride and worth opposing off a 5lb higher mark. You Too Pet is 0-8 under Rules but was second here in November on his first start for Jennifer Mason. TOMMY THE RASCAL has been knocking on the door off his current mark and could finally get his head in front over fences today as he’s getting 12lb from Chepstow runner-up Bandon Bridge and 19lb from Celtic Tune, who finished behind Jennie Candlish’s runner at Southwell last month and has been raised 3lb since his close second at Huntingdon.

Glendermot (IRE) 5-4fav (10-9) Tracked leader, challenged 11th, led 4 out, at least 6 lengths up on landing last, soon became very reluctant, flashed tail and wavering, reduced lead but held on, won at Leicester 2m 7f hcp (5) sft in Mar beating Fuhgeddaboudit (11-7) by 1 1/4l, 5 ran.
Tommy The Rascal 9-2 (10-4) Chased leaders, hit 8th, went 2nd 16th, ridden and no impression before 4 out, closed last, no extra and lost 2nd towards finish, 3rd of 7, 4 1/4l behind Cleve Cottage (10-1) at Southwell 3m 2f hcp (4) gs in Feb.
