Formscan By Niall Tierney - Joseph O'Brien's team are in fantastic form at the minute, and GLIONDAR (3) showed more than enough on debut behind the talented Loughrea that he is capable of winning a race like this, and he is given the vote on this occasion. KarryGrant has run well on virtually each start he's had and will be knocking about at the business end of the race. Fleur de Provence showed more of what she's capable of in Punchestown the last day and will have an each-way opportunity if able to back that performance up again.
