Loch Long, twice a winner on the Flat, hadn't been running well over hurdles until a much better effort in first-time blinkers at Tipperary though that was over the minimum trip. Glenstar has given the impression of needing further on his last two starts over two miles and he'll enjoy the easier ground. He was in front of UP OU THAT here last month but Willie Mullins' charge wasn't suited by the shorter trip and quicker ground and ran much better over three miles at Punchestown last time. This could be his optimum distance and he is taken to land this. Point-to-point winner Captain Ocana is improving over timber and can book himself a place at least.
