There is likely to be plenty of interest in Egality Mans, who won a small race on his only appearance between the flags in March of last year. But the four-year-old FARCEUR DU LARGE sets a very decent standard on his third to Blackhillsofdakota at Limerick, where he met trouble in-running. Chasing Abbey placed in three of his four starts last summer but wasn’t progressing when last seen. Glens Finale is very interesting being a half-brother to five winners including Grade 1 winner Glens Melody and any market support for the Gordon Elliott newcomers would have to be taken seriously.
