Verdict
Glen's Dd had shown very little before a much better effort at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and would have an obvious chance if repeating while Crack On Corrie can't have been at her best at Limerick last time. She'd earlier won on testing ground at Galway then run well at Fairyhouse so should do better here. Oisin James is the only course winner but is better over much further so GRAINEYHILL (NAP) looks the one to be on. He showed nothing for previous connections before making his debut for Gordon Elliott at Down Royal last month and ran a fine race to finish a close third behind stable companion Cubomania, who defied a 7lb rise to score again a few days later.
