Racing Post verdict
Third-partyGolden Glance came back to form at Southwell last time, landing a handicap by one and a quarter lengths on her second outing after a wind operation; she was a consistent performer before her lay-off and remains attractively treated on her earlier figures. Rock Hurley went too hard in front at this track last time but the placed effort still reads well, and his stable has taken this race in each of the last two years. Innisfree Lass is well treated over hurdles and arrives on a trimmed mark following her chase adventures, with a tongue-tie on for the first time. Golden Glance, back to form and with the mark on her side, is our selection.
