LORD OF THE GLEN gained one of his six course victories in this race a year ago and another in an apprentice race on Friday. He comes here unpenalised and can go in again. Another Angel has won seven times on the track and, though on a long losing run, has dropped to a winnable mark. Triple Jaye completed her hat-trick on her first visit here three weeks ago and was running in better company at Ayr later but four-times Turf winner Arnold is 0-8 here. Aleef has a tremendous strike-rate of 9-63 and can never be ruled out at this level.
