SHADY GLEN scored in good style at Market Rasen last month and has since backed it up with a good show at Cartmel. He's on good terms with himself and can take this prize. Honkytonktennessee isn't a reliable character but got back to winning ways last time and may go well once sporting his new headgear again while No Likey and Hedgeinator are both nicely handicapped if able to produce their best work.
