GLENWOOD FOR EVER battled to victory over slightly shorter at Kilbeggan and this longer trip is more to his taste. He'll enjoy the conditions and it will be a surprise if he's not thereabouts at the finish so gets the nod. The veteran Curragh Golan just held the late thrust of Ballyfinboy over 2m4f at Wexford and is another who should get into the action from this sort of mark but the hunter El Grande looked beaten when falling at Downpatrick and will need to do much better. Another hunter, Shake It Up, is making his handicap debut and was a bit disappointing last time while Kilcrea is out of form and held by the selection on their run at Kilbeggan.
