Brian Hughes has partnered Glittering Love in all of his five career victories to date and the Carlisle winner has only gone up 3lb. Frimeur De Lancray was just touched off at Newcastle two runs ago but PARTY FUZZ is less exposed. Kim Bailey’s charge was making his debut over fences when second at Ffos Las and looks to have improved for a wind operation. Onchan requires improvement but did finish ahead of the subsequent course and distance winner Morozov Cocktail here at the start of last month and is 6lb better off.
