KNICKERBOCKERGLORY (2) won this twelve months ago and will be primed for a massive bid on his return to action. Dan Skelton's charge is 7lb higher this time around but relishes the likely testing condtions and was by no means disgraced when fourth in the BetGoodwin Sussex Champion Hurdle Handicap Hurdle at Plumpton when last seen 230 days ago. GLYNN BRAE (5) cannot be left out of the equation having returned from seven months off with a battling success over 2m4f here. He should have more to offer and must be respected alongside GO DANTE (7) who is two from two over course and distance and will have needed the run when well beaten at Bangor last time. DANCE AND GLANCE (10) also warrants consideration.
