Barry Geraghty was seen at his best on Norther Bay when landing a beginners' race at Down Royal last month and though this is much tougher the combination will make a bold bid to go in again. However, GLANTARA is really finding his feet over the bigger obstacles having landed a couple of novices' events in good style recently so he gets the vote to continue his progress. Head Waiter looks a threat as he comfortably held off Decoy Daddy when scoring at Killarney and has a course and distance victory to his credit. Gonebeyondrecall finally lost his maiden tag over the bigger obstacles with a facile success over Wise Owl at Killarney and if in that kind of form will take all the beating from this mark.
