Forecasts

Farren Glory (7/4), Nurburgring (3/1), Jordans (4/1), Fascile Mode (15/2), Touch Me Not (8/1), Sportinthepark (14/1), Gaelic Arc (80/1), Anyway (100/1)

Little between most of these with the vote going to Grade 1 winning hurdler FARREN GLORY, who stepped up on his chase bow when making all at Naas. Nurburgring was the best of these over hurdles and rates the main threat after his promising start at Navan, while there was not much to choose between Fascile Mode and Touch Me Not when 1-2 here last month.
