Formscan By John O'Riordan - This looks a nice opportunity for the Michael Grassick-trained GLORY TO BE to shed her maiden tag. Fourth at the Curragh on Sunday, the daughter of Cotai Glory has shown enough on five starts to suggest she has a race of this nature in her. Dropping back to the minimum trip and, with first time blinkers applied, she sets a fair standard. Despite being officially rated 1lb below Arklow Lad, she comfortably beat that colt when the pair met at the Curragh on her penultimate start. The latter named juvenile looks the biggest danger nonetheless. Runner-up at Down Royal last time, the Kieran Cotter-trained son of Kuroshio has further scope for improvement. Miss Travers looks best of the rest.
