Verdict
Glingerburn is going the right way but competes outside of novice company for the first time and has a bit to find on today's terms with HAWK HIGH (NAP). The latter showed good progress last year, culminating with a win at Aintree in October, and Tim Easterby's charge finished ahead of Meadowcroft Boy when fourth in a handicap at Musselburgh on New Year's Day. A smart prospect back in 2013, Tanerko Emery was pulled up on his only start since but has his first run for another new trainer today with McCoy riding and is still preferred to Cool Baranca.
