Four of these have won over the course and distance including ARDERA CROSS, who had War Of The Pennys 3l back in second on soft ground in August. Eoin Doyle's charge can confirm the form and defy a 6lb rise in the weights to complete a double. Glendine River is a big threat as he gained his second victory over track and trip in June and he's also won on the Flat here though all of his victories have been on good going. Naturally Blond gained her only success to date on this track in June but she's been struggling in handicaps subsequently while Storm Racer has only shown moderate form in maidens and was withdrawn from a race at Clonmel last week due to soft ground. Just Get Cracking is much better over fences these days and hasn't run since April.
