Verdict

Despite seemingly running out of petrol on his latest outing at Ballinrobe, it's interesting to see the Willie Mullins' inmate GLORIOUS LEGEND tackle this 2m4f trip again. His previous run at Kilbeggan puts him bang in contention and he's afforded another chance in the hope he'll be ridden with greater restraint here. In contrast, Judgement Day looks the sort to fully appreciate the step up in trip after a solid Down Royal effort and Dinons is obvious short-list material on this hurdling debut. All For Nothing and Smitty Bacall both performed with credit in similar affairs last time and mention must also be made of the McManus-owned, O'Brien-trained newcomer Can You Believe It.
