LARGY VALLEY was pulled up by Stephen O’Connor in a point at Loughanmore last month but is out of a middle-distance winner on the Flat so should be suited by a switch to bumpers. Despite a penalty, Kingston Bridge is the obvious danger as he won easily at Kelso while Bluebell Glen represents last year’s winning yard and is related to the stable’s useful chaser Clan Legend.
