A traditionally strong bumper which features last month's 1/2/3 SOARING GLORY, Kid Commando and Bravemansgame. The Paul Nicholls-trained runner cost an eye-watering £370,000 out of the Irish point-to-point scene and with a lofty home reputation is expected to improve leaps and bounds for that initial experience. Meanwhile, the addition of a tongue-tie could assist the Anthony Honeyball-trained runner who simply tired in the home straight after forcing the pace. Nevertheless, it's difficult to envisage either horse reversing placings with Jonjo O'Neill's Fame And Glory gelding, who has the potential to take star-billing in this division with spring targets on the horizon.
