Sam Curling has his horses in good form and Angels Dawn ran very well in a Navan Listed contest last time. HUMBLE GLORY didn't get the run of the race when tackling hurdles at Tramore and connections must believe she has the pace for this so she gets the nod. Red As Rust ran well at Fairyhouse last month but appeared to find heavy going against her at Naas a fortnight ago. She had Suil Alainn behind in the former event and should confirm the form while Mississippi Wine caught the eye on her debut here earlier this month and can improve enough to give the selection plenty to think about.
