This all-chase card gets under way with a handicap for conditionals in which GLENWOOD FOR EVER can gain compensation for an unlucky defeat at Punchestown where he unseated his rider at the second last when clear. Burndown is generally not far away but would have finished a long way behind the selection in that latter event. William Du Berlais arrives with a 6lb penalty for an easy victory at Killarney during the week and Darragh O'Keefe can use his claim again. Dont Kick Nor Bite usually races on much softer ground over shorter but he's likely to stay this trip on the quicker going and should go well.
