Race preview

GLAN went close in a valuable handicap over C&D back in November and a reproduction of that form would see her go close off just a 4lb higher mark. The Gordon Elliott-trained mare only failed by a neck to peg back Gua Du Large with Sit Down Lucy in fourth. An extra quarter mile didn't play to her strengths at Leopardstown last time. Stablemate Eskylane won a highly competitive handicap in impressive fashion at Down Royal in October but hasn't been seen since and has gone up 12lb in the ratings. Riding arrangements suggest Farout is preferred of Willie Mullins' seven runners, while Nodoubtaboutthat and Iberique Du Seuil are both running from out of the handicap proper but shouldn't be lightly discounted.
