Formscan By Gary Carson - WALKING ON GLASS stepped up considerably on previous form when scoring in commanding fashion at Navan last time and may be able to follow up despite a 10lb hike. Linger was a hotpot in that race having scored at Gowran previously but could make no impression on Padraig Roche's charge who won by a cosy two-and-three-quarter lengths. To be fair Walking On Glass, who had been running over hurdles, was unexposed on the level and stepping up in trip. He may be able to back it up now. Cache Queen ran well when chasing home Time For Mabel at Leopardstown last time and despite a 3lb rise looks capable of another big show here. Shakespear'sgalley ran a solid enough race in a better contest at the Curragh last weekend, having won at Killarney previously, and looks another to consider with Shane Crosse taking the mount now.
