A couple of these won point-to-points before debuting under Rules. But Glengouly can only improve after finishing tailed-off at Fairyhouse and FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY is preferred. The latter found only one too good at Punchestown last month and normal progress could see him off the mark. Kings Keeper came up short once again at Thurles last time but Top Bandit was beaten only a nose at Leopardstown and is another to consider while Lispendense placed at the same track and Golfe Clair is a likely improver.
