Lickpenny Larry landed a double back in April and is only 4lb higher on his return to action. But GLANCE BACK was having his first start after wind surgery when runner-up over track and trip on his reappearance and is taken to go one better back on soft ground today. Frankie Ballou won three times over fences early in the year but has struggled recently and Blue Bullet is preferred back over a more suitable shorter trip for this with last month's comeback run under his belt. Exmoor Mist is a rare winner nowadays but still looks best of the remainder.
