Verdict

Harry Fry's STANNERS GLEN looked a sure-fire winner in this sphere when a clear second at Doncaster last time and is fancied to add to his earlier points and bumper success here. Paul Nicholls chases a hat--trick in this race so his bumper/points runner-up Kilnew Supreme could emerge as the main danger now going hurdling. Mr Jukebox, Best Trump and Go Try appeal as the pick of the rest in the battle for minor honours.
