Verdict
Noble Glance surprised Danboru at Fontwell but the latter is now 7lb better off and should come out on top this time. Beau Sancy has won four times over fences but is 0-7 over hurdles and was beaten in a match last time. He gets 14lb from SUNSET SHOWDOWN, who wasn’t entirely convincing here last time but still probably sets the standard so gets the nod.
