Fox Le Bel has never won but that hasn't prevented him being supported on several occasions including on his reappearance at Wexford where he was well beaten in third on heavy ground. Shean Glory is 1-25 but only 1lb higher than that winning mark at Limerick in May. Tingarran Express has shown ability and ran better than her form figure suggests last time but HARD TARGET can get off the mark. A close third over the track and trip in September, he found two miles on quicker ground against him at Fairyhouse next time and should be capable of winning from this sort of mark. Battle Bound makes his handicap debut after showing a bit more dash at Limerick.
