Verdict

GLANCE BACK showed little in the way of ability over hurdles but, despite a tendency to jump left, wasn’t beaten far behind a decent novice here on his introduction to chasing He may have more to offer and holds subsequent Towcester winner Skipping On on that run. Bally Lagan has won around here but on much quicker ground and this trip looks too short. Mondo Cane is another campaigned generally over much further and it’s even harder to make a case for Red Tortue and Lost In Newyork.
