Verdict

RAINFORD GLORY scored over course and distance before going very close again at Lingfield. This looks less competitive so David Simcock's charge gets the nod. Geeaitch posted a better effort here recently and should figure again off the same mark, but Fire In Babylon was still beaten five lengths when runner-up over 1m6f here last month. Lac Sacre won a selling hurdle recently, though is unplaced in 12 starts on the Flat, but Blackstone Vegas has slipped down the weights having failed to get his head in front last year.
