Low-mileage 5-y-o who posted a career best when winning 9-runner handicap (2/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 40 days ago. Big shout with more to offer over 1m4f.
Timeform Verdict 
THE GLEN ROVERS remains with few miles on the clock and with this step up in trip looking a plus, he is fancied to follow up his Newcastle success last time out. Boy George rates the obvious threat in his bid for a hat-trick ahead of Darky Mystery and Buxted Too.
