Owen Glendower had nine lengths to spare over Gleann Na Ndochais over 2m4f here last month but his best form is over shorter trips than this. Count Salazar's recent winning run has been over hurdles while Romany Ryme has questions to answer having being pulled up at Roscommon and he finished behind DYSTONIA'S REVENGE at Cartmel earlier. Sheena Walton's charge is a real staying type but so is Bertie Milan, who will likely set a strong gallop. Kai Broon tries a new trip and may be found wanting.
