Another low-grade affair with not a single course winner engaged. Le Grand Chene has been raised 4lb for landing an equally moderate contest at Downpatrick last week but did well as he found the trip too short and this is more like it. Better B Quick finished a good third over track and trip in November but has run poorly subsequently while Glenwood For Ever is still a novice, though his two most recent runs in handicaps put him in the picture. The veteran NOTIFICATION ran his best race to date over fences behind Tipped Up Harry at Navan last month and the winner has subsequently defied a big weight rise. Willie Cronin's charge will again have the trainer's son on board and the combination look good enough for this. Town Pond would have a chance on his victory at Downpatrick a year ago from just 1lb lower but Mount Brandon has been disappointing since a close second at Punchestown in December.
