FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - GLOW WORM gets her second taste of racecourse action, hot on the heels of an encouraging debut at Naas on Monday. The daughter of Epaulette was drawn favourably in stall one alright, but there was definite merit in her third placing behind rivals with high profile connections. Glow Worm was half a length and three and three parts off Peace Charter (Khalid Abdullah and Ger Lyons) and So Wonderful (Ballydoyle). On that occasion the selection disputed the lead, and she was headed at halfway. Ridden in third two furlongs out, Glow Worm was second a furlong out. Jack Davison’s charge dropped to third again inside the final furlong, soon having no extra to give. She drops to five furlongs now on the polytrack but she mightn’t be easy to match from her box one berth again. Take your pick as regards what else might step up to make a telling impression and as ever the market will need monitoring.
