In depth
Verdict
Strong Glance and Galileo Silver won on the same card here two weeks ago but the former has much the higher rating over hurdles. Both carry penalties which means BEAT THE JUDGE gets 6lb and that could make all the difference for Gary Moore’s useful chaser, who has had a break but has also shown ability on Polytrack. Crooks Peak remains out of sorts and 2m on the surface may be an insufficient test for Always Resolute, though he did win over 1m6f on good ground at Chester in the autumn.
