In depth
Verdict
This looks a moderate bumper and those who supported Glan into favouritism for her debut at Fairyhouse in December will be hoping for a better run, though she was beaten a long way. Thirtyfourstitches produced a much better run here a couple of weeks ago and won't need to improve much to get involved but RED IRON looks to have done enough in two Roscommon bumpers to grab the spoils. Knockwilliambridge must have been showing something at home as he started favourite at Tramore last month though may have found the ground too quick. Il Coura was engaged in the 7.15 at Killarney last night.
