FormscanBy Donal Murphy - This looks a good opportunity for GLYDE RANGER to follow-up on his recent course and distance success. Slow away and trailing the field, the Tom McCourt-trained chestnut made smooth headway in the straight and eventually eased to a remarkable four length win. Newly crowned champion apprentice James Ryan again takes the ride on the 63-rated four-year-old and if the same patient tactics are again deployed, he should prove hard to beat. With Nicola Burns claiming a valuable 7lb, Autocrat looks a danger. On what was his debut for Dick Donohoe, the No Nay Never bay was a solid fourth in a stronger contest over the course and distance last week. Consistent of late, Bright N Shine is capable of making an impact, while so to is Gavin Cromwell's Come On The Lads.
