Race preview
SOARING GLORY backed up the promise he showed in bumpers when pouncing late to deny the well-regarded Bravemansgame at Chepstow and Jonjo O'Neill's speedy five-year-old could mark himself out as one to follow by enhancing his reputation here. Amarillo Sky changed hands for 280,000 pounds following an eye-catching win in a Borris House point in March and looks a smart prospect, but the form of the Colin Tizzard string tempers enthusiasm. Therefore, the best of the rest could well be Nicky Henderson's newcomer Dusart, who is a half-brother to the stable's dual-Cheltenham Festival winner Simonsig. Olly Murphy's No Risk Des Flos is also noted on his hurdles bow having finished third in a Carlisle bumper last month.
