Pundit pick: Who's GlenDiffers from our pick

Who's Glen holds a clear edge on our ratings over the trio of Person of Interest, Lunar Orbit and Dream Jet, who are all assessed equally and represent the principal dangers at this trip of twenty furlongs around Bangor-on-Dee, though the confidence behind this selection is modest and any one of that chasing group could turn the tables. Rock Hurley and Zamond are not out of it either, but the gap between them and the leading quartet looks meaningful enough to make them unlikely winners. On balance, Who's Glen's superior rating makes him the one to be on.
