Verdict
This again looks tricky but we will give the tentative vote to Glingerbank with Just In Time and Ma Yahab both worth noting. The selection has won two from four last season but has not been seen since. His last effort was when second to Dhehdaah at Cheltenham in the Jewson final. If fit and back to his best he looks a well handicapped horse that is not over exposed, so with room for further improvement he can take all the beating. Just In Time has not run since October 2005 so fitness is certainlty a question mark. His from though does read well but it remains to be seen that at the age of twelve he still retains the ability to win races. Having said that he is worth noting in the betting market as is Ma Yahab who is blinkered for the first time after having finished second to Fliying Weapon at Exeter last time out. Any market moves should be noted but for the winner we return to Glingerbank.
