MACS LEGEND, an easy winner at Ballynoe, was only caught in the shadows of the post in a similar race to this at Cork and that should be good enough for this. Gotaway produced a late burst to score at Quakerstown and has scope for improvement as has Glorious Galway, who was having only his third start when runner-up at Belharbour. Caniwillyegiveme looks the main threat as he was racing in handicaps last summer and was only just touched off on a couple of occasions.
