ARIZONA GLORY has taken well to fences and though only second when sent off favourite at Market Rasen last week, the four-year-old has plenty of scope for further progress. Eurkash finished a decent third over 2m at Hereford on his chasing bow though is unproven over this far while Snougar ended last season with a victory at Wetherby and ran well for a long way at Hexham on his reappearance. Both Dragon Khan and Yourholidayisover placed on their penultimate starts and look best of the rest.
