Glenloe has been prominent in the betting having run well in Ireland pre-Christmas. Gordon Elliott is capable of improving one for the big day, and will need to do that to score here. Dell' Arca is respected for a yard that know how to win this and will go on the ground.Delta Work and Sort It Out may get involved, while top-weight Thomas Campbell is not dismissed lightly on his early season form now dropped in class. FORZA MILAN is unexposed and ran two promising races before Christmas. His trainer won this in 2013 and talented claimer Killian Moore could be key to more joy today.
