Verdict

LORD OF THE GLANCE has found only one too good on both his handicap starts and appeals as the most solid option. Pottersjetamay is a long-standing maiden but ran creditably back in this sphere on his most recent outing and could well be on the premises again, with handicap-debutante Daring To Dream completing the shortlist.

10	Showed first form over hurdles when runner-up behind class-dropping stablemate on handicap bow at Fakenham in January. Ran at least as well when filling same spot at Plumpton (15.9f) subsequently and seems sure to go well again. 1st Pick 10 Lord Of The Glance Jockey: Kielan Woods Trainer: Alex Hales J: Kielan Woods T: Alex Hales	100	-	-	-	29%

4	Long-standing maiden but on a handy mark on the pick of his form and ran respectably reverting to hurdling when third in 9-runner handicap at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft, 4/1) 17 days ago, albeit well positioned. Can make presence felt once again. 2nd Pick 4 Pottersjetamay (Ire) Jockey: Jack Quinlan Trainer: Matt Crawley J: Jack Quinlan T: Matt Crawley	99	-	-	-	34%

3	Zoustar filly who hinted at ability in 2 bumpers and has also shown promise on all 3 starts in novice hurdles, so rates an interesting handicap debutante, for all that her opening mark could have been kinder. 3rd Pick 3 Daring To Dream Jockey: James Best Trainer: Harriet Dickin J: James Best T: Harriet Dickin	92	-	-	-	12%
