A fine turnout for the money with the excellent Macgiloney attempting his 10th career victory, two of them coming at Galway in the last few weeks. Mindsmadeup finished a very close third in the first of those races and a pull in the weights can see him in contention though Hewick, a very close fourth, should beat the pair of them on the revised terms. Oscer Romero is on a hat-trick after a double at Ballinrobe where he won eased down last time, though Paul Townend takes over from a 5lb claimer so he's effectively 16lb higher. WHATUCALLHER was a fortunate winner at Ballinrobe when the leader came to grief at the last but she had the remainder well cooked at the time and is running so well that she can defy a 6lb rise. The last time Spyglass Hill ran over hurdles he won a Limerick handicap by seven lengths but is still 12lb lower than his chase mark. If the going eases considerably, he'd be difficult to keep out of the frame.
