RACE SUMMARY:
GLENDRUID is lightly raced for Neil Mulholland and showed enough at Worcester on his chasing debut to think he can win races in this sphere, so he’s preferred to Rostello, who should strip fitter for his latest outing. Ahead of Schedule, a winner on his first go over fences, is fancied to go well again under another forceful ride.
