SPILLANE'S TOWER made a very encouraging return to action in the John Durkan and looks the way to go with further progress likely now back at 3m. Banbridge was giving Energumene a race when unseating at the last at Cork 18 days ago and, with ground conditions likely to be ideal for him, could give the selection most do if his stamina holds now tackling 3m for only the second time in his career. Betfair Chase runner-up Grey Dawning looks best of the British.
