In depth
Verdict
Glenteeneasalgh looks interesting in receipt of plenty of weight from all five of his opponents and he could go very well, though River Of Intrigue has his conditions and should appreciate the return to three miles on his first start for Fergal O'Brien. He also looks a leading player. However, there was a lot to like about the way that MIAMI PRESENT won at Market Rasen and he shapes as though he will get the extra half mile, so he is taken to defy a 6lb rise. Dawnleriver could also do better than of late.
