GREEN GLORY has caught the eye on a couple of occasions, particularly last time, and might be worth siding with on handicap debut, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Gaoth Chuil took a step forward to get off the mark in maiden company last time and looks on a favourable opening mark so she's feared most ahead of Henry de Bromhead's Navan winner Spirit of Legend.
