Verdict
Len Brennan made a decent attempt to defy a rise in the weights when finishing a close-up third at Exeter. He’s not out of this but GLENO has slid down the handicap since last successful over fences at this time last year. A recent second over hurdles here suggests he’ll be in the mix once again and he gets the vote. Aye Aye Charlie has yet to win a chase while Tommie Beau’s saddle slipped at Hereford and he’s preferred to Prairie Town.
