Glance From Clover is penalised for last week’s cosy course and distance success but Jay Tidball’s claim will aid his cause. Braganza Bay has won on both occasions he’s gone beyond 3m this term but Doireann is inconsistent and still a maiden. Blade Runner is 3-4 over fences but has yet to place over hurdles and may be having a pipe-opener. STELLAR STREAM (NAP) had only three rivals at Hereford last month but looked a real staying type that day and can follow up here, though he’ll probably do just as well in chases in the future.
