Verdict

Gordon Elliott boasts a good recent record in this race and saddles two strong candidates in STELLAR STORY and Search For Glory. The vote goes to the former, who was a beaten favourite in a Grade 2 at Navan recently but he should have more to offer now faced with a stiffer test. Search For Glory did the job well in a Cork Grade 3 with first-time cheekpieces enlisted and another bold show is anticipated. Loughglynn and the mare Banprionsa are other promising types to consider.
