Going - Soft, Yielding to Soft in places; changed to Soft after Race 1. Overcast

Formscan By Alan Magee - A disappointing turnout for this Grade 2 with all three runners representing the same connections and riding arrangements suggest STELLAR STORY is preferred. The point-to-point winner developed into a smart staying novice hurdler last season notably landing the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Search For Glory has a similar profile to the selection having also scored between the flags and in a bumper and stayed well over hurdles last term winning a 3m Clonmel Grade 3. He finished strongly to make a winning start over fences at Galway last month while Rainbow Trail also scored over 2m4f at Gowran last month but has since fallen here in a Grade 3.
