FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FOOLS GLORY is a progressive three year old who is suited by easy ground and has a middle draw in 8. She improved in handicaps this summer, competes from 1lb lower than when second at Killarney and being a half-sister to a Listed winner, further progression is possible. Another three year old Zuhra, drawn 5, ran well when last seen at Leopardstown and is unexposed. The winner of that race won subsequently and while Zuhra is absent since, was withdrawn due to fast ground in July and should be ready for an autumn campaign. Course and distance winner Heather Bear is 3lb higher than when winning at Ballinrobe but has a poor draw in 18. Blackcastle Storm is 5lb higher than when winning at Down Royal (Action Motion was third) and while 7lb worse off than when narrowly beating Dare To Flare in August, Dare To Flare is now drawn 19. Grappa Nonino, drawn 14, was behind the selection at Killarney but had previously shown form while course winner Lamprog is tried in blinkers.
