Verdict
GLENLUJI and One Scoop Or Two jump off the page as the form horse in this race and after a runaway score last time the first mentioned looks better treated while Law Of Attraction might be the fly in the ointment. Ruth Carr's Only A Splash should also enter consideration after his late show to win a soft ground contest at Ayr but if in the same mood as his last run Glenluji will be hard to beat. Five length was the margin of victory for the pick so on a strict reading of the race he's well treated under his 6lbs penalty. One Scoop Or Two is hat-trick chasing here, the latest was a cosy enough success over course and distance and with that race starting to work out so he should run well from his revised rating. Law Of Attraction is looking well treated based on his near miss at Kempton two starts ago but Glenluji looks well in so has to get the call.
