Verdict
GLENNTEN has been placed on his last four outings but Charlie Bennett's 7lb allowance could make the difference today and he's taken to reverse latest running with the winner Ayla's Emperor and get his head back in front. Highlife Dancer is another usually thereabouts but was still beaten six lengths when runner-up at Brighton last time while Nouvelle Ere scored over track and trip last month but ran a shocker on the all-weather last time.
