In depth
Verdict
Na Blianta Beo has been expensive to follow having been a short-priced beaten favourite in her last three starts. She didn't find much when headed over the course and distance last time and there doesn't appear any reason why GLOW WORM, who went past her in the closing stages, shouldn't do so again though that was her 15th start without a victory. Grey Streak ran a fair race on testing ground at Gowran, though that was over 7f, while Ecclesiastical had been running well until a poor handicap debut at Naas after which he was gelded. Boundless Power didn't enjoy heavy going at Cork and his earlier form puts him in with a shout for a place.
