Our view
Best selection: Lord of The Glance. Recent figures of 232 – consistently in the frame; 40 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Alex Hales has had 10 winners from 107 runners in our recent records.
The case against: Uncle Remus is close on the numbers; handicap marks are meant to level the field; we can't yet confirm how it handles ground from our own records.
Others to consider: Uncle Remus and Cawthorne Banker.
