Croghill Tuppence was probably fortunate to score here in July as Seefood fell at the last when in the lead. That was only his third start over fences and there should be more to come. OUR NED did well to score over 2m1f at Limerick as it looked much too short. He stepped up in trip on a return visit and though unable to handle Devils Bride and Authinger is was a good performance against decent rivals and he can get back to winning ways. Best Value would have a chance on his victory at Wexford and he'll have found the trip too short last time but successful point-to-pointer Kanesh is a rare winner under Rules though he did run very well behind Survival at Ballinrobe. It's over two years since Glenstar won a race but he's dropped to a reasonable mark as a consequence.
