Though already beaten three times over hurdles, this is a big drop in class for Olly Murphy’s recent acquisition STRONG GLANCE and the dual bumper winner will likely be sent off at restrictive odds. Xcitations was beaten when falling at Market Rasen last month but may well have been placed and is probably improving. Young Offender is bred for jumping and didn’t fare badly at Chepstow in what was probably a decent contest but Moorsholme was last seen winning a maiden point in May of last year while Tension Time finished tailed off when third at Southwell.
