Verdict
A few of these have possibly seen better days while others generally struggle to get their heads in front. Tough Talkin Man is consistent but has managed just one victory in 19 attempts over fences and was a beaten favourite at Ffos Las last month. Moulin De La Croix and Rusty Nail were others to let supporters down last time but RIGHTEOUS GLORY came good at Fontwell last time and the second has franked the form since. Today's pilot Jeremiah McGrath is one of the most experienced in this and a follow up is on the cards. Zama Zama won over hurdles here in 2012 but hasn't scored in 17 starts since and this will be Conor Orr's first ride in public.
