GLEN BUCK (6) had OLD HARROVIAN (5) back in second when winning at Southwell before following up at the same venue during February. Trainer Roger Varian maintains a good record at this venue and his progressive six-year-old can complete a hat-trick here. The latter has since landed a decent prize over course and distance and rates highly representing a stable continuing to produce winners. Smart AW performer SMART HERO (9) looked good winning at Wolverhampton eleven weeks ago. Must be treated seriously despite a rise in weights. CHARLOTTE'S WEB (4) is another with an excellent AW profile. Cannot be ruled out following a narrow defeat in a valuable event at Lingfield AW (1m2f) last outing. French raider HOOKING (2) also brings smart form. Consider.
