MALINAS GLORY (5) was an impressive 4.75L winner at this venue 23 day ago. Steps up in distance to 3m1f. Can handle this and rates a top pick. BRANDT (1) revisits chasing after finishing 2.5L fifth hurdling last time at Down Royal. Needs to improve when tackling this trip. BALLAGH STAR (8) found success contesting a 3m2f handicap chase at Sligo in October. Rates one of the better chances. PITWOOD ROAD (2) has not taken to chasing producing two below par finishes. Handicap company might bring out the best of him.
