FormscanBy Michael Graham - ROBYNDEGLORY dropped into this grade at Limerick and showed a welcome return to form with a third place. That was over the minimum trip, but this 2m5f is much more to her liking. Liam McKenna takes 7lb off her back again. She has an each-way chance. Game And Glory won over a similar trip at this track in October and her subsequent third at Thurles was in a higher grade, so she is respected. Carrig Carol was a decisive winner over an extended 2m3f at Fairyhouse and the way she stayed on bodes well for this assignment. She is only 3lb higher in the weights as jockey Brian Lawless is able to claim his full 7lb in this race. Knocknagappagh has to bounce back from a disappointing run at Ballinrobe in August, but that is feasible off a break.
