The presence of the Greatwood Hurdle winner
Nietzche adds an interesting dimension to this race, although the suspicion is that he should benefit for the run (his first start since wind surgery). Therefore, the pair to focus upon are the course specialists
LOUD AND CLEAR and
Glan Y Gors. Both horses have been in rude health in recent times and are particularly strong in the stamina department (also stay 2m). A 3lb rise for his latest narrow C&D defeat looks fully justifiable for the selection with that particular form-line appearing to be very strong (third-placed Desert Ruler won well here last week).
