FormscanBy Gary Carson - A step up in trip here could unlock further improvement from GLENROYAL. The Australia gelding ran a big race on his handicap debut when second at Ballinrobe and was a touch unlucky in running last time in Tipperary when third to a progressive sort in Onemoredance. Both those runs were over nine furlongs and he shapes like a mile-and-a-half will suit. First time cheekpieces may also help. Victoria Kesia got up late on to score at Limerick back in April and it’s interesting that she takes a significant step up in distance now. Astelia ran well over hurdles last time and is still relatively unexposed at the age of six. She’s another to note.
