Verdict
Hard to be confident with the majority in a search for form. Moreover, those which make most appeal are taking a major step-up in trip which makes life more complex. GLENABO BRIDGE ran well on his latest start though and hasn't gone too badly over this trip in the past either. He was also entered here on Monday under topweight so it will be interesting to see if connections aim at a double header with him. Maxxum ran quite a pleasing race at Cork earlier in the month and is one expected to be the shake-up if handing this major rise in trip. Similar comments apply to decent Kilbeggan fourth, Birdie Blitz, and Not So Simple is also a possible if ready after a break.
