In depth
Verdict
Black Centaur won at Plumpton before failing to complete and gets a change of headgear while Old Harry Rocks placed at Southwell last time having earlier scored at Newton Abbot. But CHURCHTOWN GLEN was beaten only a length over these fences earlier this month having slipped down the weights and it could be his turn today. Sunny Express looks no nearer winning but Silver Nickel placed over timber recently and debuts over fences.
