FormscanBy Alan Magee - ROBYNDEGLORY appears better than ever this year and recorded a fourth career win when drawing clear on the run-in over 2m4f at Fairyhouse last month. The step up to three miles is not a concern having won over the trip at Wexford last year and she probably put up her best effort when stepped up to Grade 3 company last time at Punchestown staying on in fifth behind Queens Brook. Whatsavailable also takes a drop in class after competing at the Dublin Racing Festival last month. The topweight previously won over 2m4f at Fairyhouse, while Champella is another for the shortlist. She won three times last year including over 2m4f at Wexford, while Riggs stays well and was third to the progressive Verdant Place at Punchestown last month.
