Chanceanotherfive won a maiden point-to-point in May and made a successful start his career under Rules at Perth in September. This looks a bit more competitive and he has a penalty but Keith Dalgleish’s runner can’t be ignored. Ballinslea Bridge also won between the flags and only found one too good on his bumper debut at Fakenham. Sultans Pride was second over track and trip in March and sent off favourite again at Market Rasen subsequently but only managed fifth. GLINGER FLAME is by Daylami out of a winning hurdler so should have a plentiful supply of speed and stamina and his yard boasts a terrific strike-rate here in bumpers.
