Glens Finale appeared to be progressing before turning in a shocker at Down Royal just before Christmas. If back in the groove, Denise Foster’s charge must go close in a race that has more quantity than quality. Risk Factor had smart bumper form but hasn’t quite lived up to his potential so far over timber. However, he’s another for the shortlist and Part Time Farmer, placed three times in bumpers, would have claims if getting a run from his reserve spot. SIR JACK WEST took a big step forward at Clonmel and may have more to come so gets a tentative vote.
