Formscan - Farren Glory would set the standard based on his Royal Bond victory at Fairyhouse earlier this month but the form of that contest does appear to be questionable and he faces a plethora of contenders who arrive with unexposed profiles. JANGO BAIE made a bright start to his Rules career at Ascot when doing plenty wrong in the process before battling on strongly to get the better of Tellherthename. The latter showcased the form by bolting up at Huntingdon, in a contest that has already worked out well, and the selection is expected to have come on plenty from that initial experience. Favour And Fortune has done very little wrong in two hurdling starts and is respected along with Florida Dreams, who won the Grade 2 bumper here in April.
