GLEN ECHO is steadily going the right way in handicaps, enhancing his form further when posting a very good second at Roscommon 38 days ago. He looks to hold solid claims of going one place better, with Red Glory who has developed into a fairly useful hurdler since last seen on the Flat another key player. Felicity Smoak and Max Meridius also make each-way appeal.
