FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Successful around a similar circuit at Ballinrobe on chasing debut, MAGNOR GLORY may be best equipped for this test of speed. Terence O'Brien's useful handicap hurdler was returning from ten months off when victorious at the Mayo venue and ground conditions should be ideal for the eight-year-old. Horantzau D'airy is rated just a couple of pounds inferior to the selection over hurdles and had Je T'ai Porte back in third when winning on chase debut at Leopardstown. The ground was again testing when he followed up over 2m4f at Clonmel but he has form on a sound surface. Dreal Deal was beaten in a Cartmel handicap last time but had impressed over this trip at Wexford on his previous start.%0A%0A
