Verdict

The return to a longer trip should play to the strengths of THRUTHELOOKINGLASS who is given a chance to build on a promising first attempt over fences at Warwick last month. Fellow once-raced chaser He Knows Better would have been involved in the finish but for falling 2 out at Haydock and is feared most ahead of Petty Cash, who hasn't finished out of the first 2 over fences when completing.
