Ice Cool Lady was an easy winner here last month but will need to improve again now 8lb higher in the weights and Hip Hip Hooray continues to creep up the handicap despite not winning. Gallantry can make the frame on the evidence of his best form but the vote goes to TILSWORTH GLENBOY. A winner at Yarmouth earlier, John Jenkins' charge went close when runner-up in a race at Newmarket in October and is fancied to go one better against these lesser rivals.
