Clounts Glory followed a victory between the flags at Dromahane with a fine debut under Rules in a similar race to this at Clonmel but THE FORGE HILL looks the one to beat. Sean Doyle's mare, three-times a point-to-point winner, would probably have completed a hat-trick but for falling two out at Lisronagh in November and looks a nice prospect. The remainder make no appeal though the lightly-raced Scorpion Lady may be capable of some improvement.
