Verdict

GLANCING JACK returns on the back of a very promising novice campaign and he's fancied to make a winning start for the all-powerful Dan Skelton yard. The dangers are headed by hat-trick-seeking Hillberry Hill, who may have been let-in lightly by the handicapper. Kamsinas won this corresponding race in 2024 and is weighted to go well again, with improving A King of Magic also considered.

10	Low-mileage 5-y-o who made a fine start to his career for Tom Symonds last season. Found a chunk of improvement to split a trio of subsequent winners when 3¼-length second on handicap bow at Newbury in March. Since switched to powerful connections and strong chance he picks up where he left off. 1st Pick 10 Glancing Jack Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	20%	4/1

9	Chasing type who won a maiden at the second attempt for Ms Margaret Mullins last winter. Changed hands for £70,000 prior to easily defying a penalty in a weak Southwell novice (2½m) on stable debut in March. Likely to progress further and opening mark potentially lenient as he bids for a hat-trick. 2nd Pick 9 Hillberry Hill (Ire) Jockey: Ciaran Gethings Trainer: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls J: Ciaran Gethings T: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls	99	-	-	-	15%	6/1

2	Latest win came in the 2024 renewal of this race. Struggled in graded company following a short stint over fences last winter. Finished the season in form when 7½-length third off this mark in a valuable Plumpton handicap. Appeals given his record fresh, though extreme ground wouldn't be ideal. 3rd Pick 2 Kamsinas (Fr) Jockey: Jonathan Burke Trainer: Fergal O'brien J: Jonathan Burke T: Fergal O'brien	99	-	-	-	14%	13/2
