Glimmer Star, runner-up in a pointers' bumper at Down Royal in May, is probably capable of winning a race like this but we'll give another chance to MR TALLYMAN, who couldn't match the pace of Dumitas over C&D last month but finished ahead of Dancing Gizmo and is guaranteed to run his race again. Wild Geese was placed several times on the Flat and wasn't disgraced on his debut here over hurdles, though may improve for a step up in distance in the future.
