Howlett wouldn't need to be a world beater to make a winning start in a moderate contest and he has a nice pedigree. WAYLANDER hasn't done too much wrong and is the definite form pick and though he's been racing over further he should be good enough to get off the mark. Glen Beg ran too bad to be true at Limerick on Thursday after a decent effort in Listed company while Golden Plan looks the best of the point-to-point recruits after his victory at Tattersalls Farm three weeks ago.
