SHANNON GLORY finished hot on the heels of runner-up What An Ocean when third on Rules debut at Killarney and, with improvement on the cards, she is taken to reverse the placings with Gordon Elliott's representative and emerge on top here. What An Ocean is likely to be on the premises once again, but bigger threats may be posed by It'saleader, who confirmed the impression that she's getting the hang of things when second at Wexford last month, and the down-in-class Clairmc.
