Star Glow has to give weight away this afternoon, but should still be capable of beating Johns Legacy and Kyalami. The selection landed a decent looking hunter chase at Huntingdon last month, his first run under rules since 2001. He is fully entitled to improve on that effort and looks the obvious choice here. John's Legacy ran very well in a Newton Abbot hunter last season, and should go close if repeating that effort. Meanwhile Kyalami unseated rider in a much better race than this, before returning to winning ways in a point to point. Polar Flight must also be given a great chance here following a decent victory last time, however Star Glow looks the class act here and is taken to score.
