Verdict

The top two in the weights are last-time-out course winners and look a cut above the others. With Colin Keane aboard, GLYNDWR can overcome a high draw to add to his recent handicap success. Independent Miss rates a big danger. The pair are well treated relative to Tofino and Benavente who nonetheless make some appeal. [Alan Sweetman]
