Verdict
GLENO was progressive last season, winning three times. He can make a winning reappearance if running up to that form. Larkbarrow Lad and Rose Of Aghaboe are also having a first run of the campaign but From The Heart had a pipe-opener at Chepstow 11 days ago and What's Occurring had a couple of runs over the summer, though has yet to prove he stays this far.
