Glamorous, twice a winner on the Flat, hasn't done anything like as well as expected so far over hurdles and hasn't been seen since December. Golden Firth won a Navan bumper in January but was beaten a distance on a return visit a month later. It's difficult to know what to make of Tugboat, a winner over 1m2f at Navan in October but well beaten when tackling 1m6f on his reappearance at Leopardstown last month. ROMAN FLIGHT looks the one to be on as he made a winning debut over a mile at Limerick and was beaten narrowly in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Killarney. His two runs this year have been over much shorter trips than this but he has acquitted himself well and this should bring the best out in him.
