FormscanBy Mark Nunan - FINAL ORDERS won over 2m last year but proved his stamina with a fine effort in defeat at Punchestown last time. The Camelot gelding tried to make all over 3m and was only collared close home by prolific winner Glenquin Castle. He can go one better despite a 3lb higher mark. Ruler Of Dubai, a place behind the selection on that occasion, has been very consistent in staying handicaps since winning a maiden at Downpatrick and has his chance again. Glenabo Bridge is a dour stayer on testing ground and ran well over an inadequate trip at Clonmel last week. He should be better for that first outing since May and has a good claimer on board. Three of Nicole’s Milan four career victories have come at this venue and his reappearance third at Limerick last month was a creditable effort.
