Glenstal Abbey has taken very well to fences and looked a nice prospect when beating Turf War at Listowel last time. The once high-class Essex showed he was no back-number when scoring for the first time over fences at Listowel though he meets better rivals here. GONEBEYONDRECALL has suddenly found his feet over the bigger obstacles and had Pallasmore, who had beaten him easily here in July, almost five lengths behind at Listowel and should confirm the form and be good enough for this. Beau Michael performed creditably in a Grade 3 at Roscommon on Monday while Farringdon looked a nice prospect at Ballinrobe and will love the testing conditions.
