5/2

Promising sort. 16/5, creditable fourth of 10 in novice chase at Galway (18.2f, heavy) 155 days ago. Likely he has more to come now switching to a handicap after a break.

Glorious Galway^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D McNamara| OR: 119| C

15/8

1 win from 3 runs this season. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap chase at this course (24.6f, heavy, 5/1) 14 days ago, keeping on well. Down in trip. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 45U-P31

16/1

Back to form out of the blue when winning 13-runner handicap chase at Clonmel (16.3f, heavy, 28/1) 24 days ago, driven out. Needs to show he can back that up now.

Forecasts

Glorious Galway (15/8), Tiger Voice (5/2), Velocity Boy (11/2), Soi Cowboy (8/1), Midnight Maestro (17/2), Allardyce (17/2), Game Of War (12/1), Powersbomb (12/1), Cluan Dara (16/1), Bitview Colin (33/1)

TIGER VOICE looks interesting now switching to handicap company for the first time over fences on his return from a break and can strike for the Henry de Bromhead/Rachael Blackmore combination. Glorious Galway rates a danger after his course success a fortnight ago, while Midnight Maestro should also have a say if none the worse for a late spill at Leopardstown last time.
