Verdict

GLENWOOD PRINCE is a token selection in a race that might not take much winning. He does, at least, have recent winning form on heavy ground and was placed over course and distance in October, admittedly off a lower mark. Mighty Mobb could be the danger as he kept on well over 2m6f at Towcester last month on his chasing debut. He's preferred to Rocky Bender, still beaten 16 lengths when third at Uttoxeter, and the disappointing Jat Punjabi.
