This looks even less appealing than the previous division but the vote goes to GALTEE MOUNTAIN. Twice a winner on soft ground last winter, he reappeared with a fair run at Ffos Las and with that under his belt can get back on the winning trail. With Pleasure is 0-14 over hurdles but has finished in the money in his last six starts on the Flat while The Darley Lama, placed five times in ten starts, has moved to Richard Newlove who may be capable of wringing some improvement out of him. Midnight Glance makes his handicap debut but has shown very little in bumpers or over timber.
