FARREN GLORY has been generally consistent since winning a Grade 1 novice hurdle back in 2023 and is an interesting contender switching to the Flat. The selection won his only bumper start in fine style and is well treated here at the weights. Sky Captain was successful on debut in a 1m4f Roscommon maiden last July and the following month beat all bar Taipan over this trip at the Galway Festival. He has scope for further improvement and hails from a yard in great form, while the Joseph O'Brien-trained pair of Defiantly and Kizlyar both need to bounce back after disappointing runs last time. Tim Toe is another to consider after winning at Bellewstown last month.
Defiantly has struggled the last twice but now gets a first-time visor. He could easily bounce back while Sky Captain, who looks promising, also gets that same headgear on this return from a break. The selection is KIZLYAR, who although disappointing on reappearance, is faced with better ground now and retains some potential. Tim Toe is unexposed after one run and shouldn't be underestimated.
