Verdict

Glan completed a double last summer but hasn't run since September and though Derek O'Connor has been booked Jamie Codd, who has ridden her in all three starts, is on board Hollymount for the stable. An easy winner for Stuart Crawford at Carlisle, she changed stables and ran in a Leopardstown Grade 2 in February won by GRANGEE. Jody Townend was on board when the latter beat Party Central and a much better fancied stable companion that day and Patrick Mullins takes over the reins after a decent run at Cheltenham. Mollys Glory was only just behind Party Central at Fairyhouse which suggests there's little between her and the selection and Condesa was around 4 lengths back in third so should also be competitive.
