Big Meadow has been raised 6lb since finishing second at Uttoxeter but Richard Johnson takes over the reins and a first hurdles victory isn’t far away. Falcons Fall may do better now handicapping and Thegirlfrommilan would have claims if you put a line through her latest run at Exeter. GLENFORDE was just behind Falcons Fall at Warwick on his reappearance but should turn that form around here on better terms having since finished third here over 2m4f. The extra half-mile is in his favour and he looks the pick of the weights today with Mikey Hamill taking off a further 5lb.
