Verdict

GLEN TO GLEN signed off for Jim Bolger with an excellent third in a big-field Leopardstown handicap and is taken to make a winning start for Joseph O'Brien here and thwart Aidan O'Brien's handicap debutant Acapulco Bay. Mocking and Sunriseontheboyne also need factoring into this competitive handicap.
