It's incredible that GLOR NA MARA has gone 13 races without winning as he ended her first campaign 5l behind Frankel in the Dewhurst. He's been placed at Group 3 level this season and did nothing wrong behind Solar Verde at Gowran last time and should finally get off the mark. He had Fred Fenster behind at Gowran and the latter easily beat Gordon Lord Byron at Cork subsequently. Danick Of Time is also held on that Gowran run but Hurricane Twister improved when attempting to make all over 7f at Tipperary and can get involved. Dermot Weld's newcomer It's True is related to some very useful winners at around 7f and is one to note.
