Urtheoneiwant finished third here last month, which was probably her best effort to date, but has not yet looked like getting her nose in front, while Florida Calling’s second over course and distance back in April would give him a shout here if it weren’t for the three poor efforts he’s put in since. In a weak event, IORA GLAS looks like the answer. He got off the mark over fences at Bangor last month and has not been unduly punished for that success. Johnny Go didn’t run badly when finishing second at Hexham and has place prospects, but Hawkhurst and Leading Score have looked poor chasers so far.
