OPERATING has plenty of stamina in his pedigree but showed pace on his debut behind Kilcrea at Gowran and, as the third has won subsequently, he can go one better here. Knocklong caught the eye behind the impressive Ballynacree in a maiden hurdle at Gowran and gets all the allowances on his bumper debut but Centurian will need to raise his game on what he's shown so far. Ok Oscar and Queen Lizzy both have plenty of winners in their pedigrees and the betting should give an indication to their chances. No virus found in this message.
