In depth
Formwatch
Glevum was in supreme form in points last season however seemed to go off the boil more recently. She ran much better at today's course last time and that may signal a return to form. Tom Scudamore is booked to ride today and the advantage of a potential top jockey can be quite an advantage in these type of races. She is the selection ahead of Cedar Square who could well be up to winning this if fit enough after a lengthy break. Some Go West was an impressive winner in a hunter chase last time out and is a live contender as is Finnow Thyne whose last run can be ignored as he was brought down in the early stages of the race. Copper Thistle is another with possibilities as he never seems to run a bad race nowadays and looks sure to be in the shake-up.
