Verdict
This looks a very competitive handicap with Gleno arriving on a hat-trick and Barry Geraghty travelling to Lincolnshire to partner the unexposed Collooney for retainer JP McManus. All My Love ran well at Fakenham after winning at Lingfield but she doesn’t have a great record over this longer trip. Ballyvic Boru has been chasing but is only 4lb higher than his last winning mark over hurdles and Ice Galley did well to score here last week and represents the in-form Philip Kirby. EARLOFTHECOTSWOLDS (NAP) won over course and distance in February and just failed to follow up off an 8lb higher mark at Ludlow. He’s gone up another 4lb but looks a progressive sort who has the build to carry his big weight. Johnbb still has time on his side but The Sweeney often flatters to deceive.
