The returning Age Of Glory should be monitored in the betting exchanges as he still has scope to win more races from his adjusted handicap mark, but unfortunately for connections there's not a great deal of rain forecast. Quicker ground might also count against last Sunday's Carlisle winner Xpo Universel who has been very well handled by Sedgefield-trainer Rebecca Menzies. Therefore, the safest option in a modest contest is the lowly-weighted LAS TUNAS. A simple repeat of his October C&D fourth to Iolani will make him difficult to beat.
