Grand Show is of interest here on his seasonal bow, however Glasshoughton has the fitness edge and he gets the verdict, She's Minnie is another vworthy of a mention. Glasshoughton has done little wrong in recent weeks, comfortably winning on heavy ground at Beverley, before running into the frame on better ground at Pontefract and Newcastle. He is still on a winning mark and looks the safest option this evening. Grand Show was successful twice at Lingfield in the Autumn and doesn't look too badly treated on his return to the turf. If fit following a nine month break he should be thereabouts. She's Minnie is one the more consistent performers and although high enough in the handicap she could run into a place at decent odds. Canadian Danehill is another that is capable of making the frame on his best form, but we return to Glasshoughton as the more likely winner.
