Verdict
Glinger Flame is in the veteran stage now but still pops up every now and again. Isthebaropen is only 3lb higher than when landing this last year but never threatened when third behind Hunting Percival over a longer trip here four weeks ago, though should strip fitter today. Bucko's Boy is upped in trip but comes here off the back of a win at Bangor and is in better form than Throne Hall. THIRTYFOURSTITCHES (NAP) has been in good form at Newton Abbot since returning from a break. Best on sharp tracks like this, he is fancied to defy his big weight.
