Formscan  - Having scored between the flags on her most recent outing, Glenmalure Flyer enters calculations on her stable bow for Dan Skelton. The eight-year-old must be feared if strong in the betting, but it could be worth chancing SLANEY OPERA. Nick Scholfield's charge has strong claims on the pick of his form and a wind procedure since finishing third at Huntingdon could prove just the ticket. Dazzlelikethis is a feasible alternative.
