DECLARED RUNNERS 11 2024: GLORY HIGHTS 8 10 13 William Maggs 17-2 (Chris Grant) 9 ran
Visor worn by No 5. Tongue Strap worn by No 6. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 1, 4, 7.
Running for the first time since Wind Surgery No 9.
Probable S.P’s: 4-1 Victory Club (IRE), 9-2 Be The Difference (IRE), 5-1 Guernesey (FR), Burning It Up (IRE), 15-2 Pure Sirloin (IRE), 16-1 Fainche (IRE), 20-1 Topkapi Star (GB), 22-1 Boyneside (GB), 40-1 Walk My Way (IRE), 50-1 Goodoldbill (GB), 100-1 Top of The Stars (GB)
In a race devoid of a solid-looking proposition, GUERNESEY could be worth chancing. The 9-y-o failed to land a blow on his recent reappearance spin, but that run was almost certainly needed and he is appealing here off an attractive mark with Dylan Johnston doing the steering. If Pure Sirloin is raring to go following nine months off he will be a threat, while Be The Difference also enters calculations
TIMEFORM PREDICTION:

PLAY SMARTER
Preference is for STICK WITH ME SAM, who showed enough in his chase starts last term to suggest a race of this nature should be within his compass Moon Phases and Treaty Boy may provide the chief threat

The mares MAGNOLIA and Dee’s Getaway both come into this on the back of personal bests, winning handicaps over this C&D and at Ayr respectively Preference is for the former, who possesses a more appealing profile of the two having progressed with each of her five starts for present connections and an 8lb rise looks manageable. Travis Wheatley could prove to be best of the boys, though unexposed handicap debutant Joltin N Jiving also enters calculations
