Giovinco was progressive between the flags in Ireland, winning at Dromahane in November. Also a points winner, Choosethenews made a winning debut under Rules here in December but was slightly disappointing at Wetherby in January. GLEN CANNEL was also well beaten last time but that was over 3m and in a higher grade. He won a shade cosily over course and distance earlier and still has time on his side.
