Verdict

STEAL A GLANCE is bred to stay well but made an encouraging start to her career when second over a similar trip at Ludlow last month and gets the verdict over Ashburton, who showed ability despite her inexperience when runner-up at Doncaster 3 months ago. There are several interesting newcomers in opposition, with Nicky Henderson's Madam Speaker perhaps most intriguing.
