A trappy finale but THINKING has hit a fine streak of form in the last couple of months with two wins and two places in his last four runs, including a narrow defeat over C&D last time. He looks sure to be in the mix once again and should give us a good run for our money. Seldom, Mangham and On The Cusp all turn up on the back of successes in the past fortnight and are preferred in that order, but the main danger could be Glenluji, thoroughly reliable and consistent and sure to make it into the winner's enclosure some time soon. Casino Night has to concede weight all round but merits the position at the head of the handicap and is not ruled out.
