Glad Big makes a quick return to the track and can get the better of Height Of Spirits and Celtique. Jamie Osborne's gelding was most impressive when winning here on Saturday, coming home two and a half lengths clear of Greenwood. Jamie is obviously striking while the iron is hot and a follow up victory looks on the cards. Height Of Spirits also comes here following a recent victory. He landed a maiden over course and distance at the end of last month and looks on a fair mark on his return to handicapping. Celtique is not a straightforward customer but comes into the argument on the pick of last year's form. Of the others any money for the Barry Hills trained Moor Myth shouldn't be ignored, but our idea of the winner is Glad Big
