The Corby Glenn will find conditions very different to when ploughing through the mud to score at Ayr and he's 4lb higher. Victrix Gale has yet to reach a place in five starts over fences and continues to disappoint so GOOD LUCK CHUCK gets the nod as he showed his first sign of form over fences at Navan and further progress should see him difficult to beat, especially as that was his handicap debut. Dessie Hughes tries Dun Masc in first-time blinkers after a poor run at Leopardstown while Island Peak continues to disappoint and the handicapper won't release his grip. Streamtown has proved expensive to follow after his success on only his second start over fences here in October.
