Tree Of Knowledge has now become a frustrating proposition for punters, disappointing numerous times when supported. He could get the hang of this in time, but isn't a viable bet at the moment. Instead, last-time-out runner-up GLAN Y GORS is given the nod, having progressed in each of three runs over timber so far and gone just down a ½L at Tramore last time, the extra yards here should assist and he can open his account. Back on a better surface, Born To Size could atone for a poor showing at Tramore while Balinaboola Steel could have some say based on a Galway bumper run last month if taking to the jumping.
