In depth

Verdict

Connections of Glenbarrow might have expected a bigger rise than 4lb for his comfortable success over the C&D a month ago and he looks ready to go well again but comes up against a well handicapped type in MISTER BENEDICTINE. A regular winner in the UK, he's now with Brendan Duke who has had to bring him out quickly with a penalty after his facile success in a Ballinrobe handicap on Tuesday. Liberty Counsel scored over fences here a month ago and reverts to hurdling on a very fair mark while Boxer Beat was chasing home Supreme Carolina here last time when unseating his rider at the last.
