Verdict
Howaya C D And E was well beaten when runner-up over 2m3f here last month but was conceding the winner 15lb and staying on. Scorsese landed a point at Borris House in March but the form pick has to be FOXFIRE GLOW. Gordon Elliott's charge started favourite over 2m3f here last month and though unable to fine extra when it mattered wasn't beaten far and can finally get off the mark.
