A chance is taken on PANGLOSS, who was too free when below par at Kempton on his latest start but he is feasibly treated judged on last spring’s form, which includes a cosy success in a C&D novice, and he will have every chance if settling this time. Misty Ayr should appreciate returning to this trip having stayed on into third over 7f here last time and she is next on the list ahead of Roscioli and Young Fire.
