Glittering Love is a previous course and distance winner and Houston Texas won this last year when Flower Of Scotland was third. APPLE ROCK was second behind Shishkin in a point a few years ago. He’s won six times over hurdles and, though jumping fences late in life, could be well handicapped. Laskalin kept good company last season after winning at Ludlow and Yes Indeed ended the season in good form. Haute Estime and Phantom Getaway, who has wind surgery since last season, could improve further this term while Wasdell Dundalk arrives in great form, though has been raised a further 3lb since his latest second here. Rath An Iuir was due to run in the 4.08 Wetherby yesterday.
