Race preview
MAGNOR GLORY has viable credentials based on the form of his last three outings. He won a Grade B handicap hurdle at Listowel in September by three lengths and resumed this season with placed efforts in valuable handicap hurdles at Fairyhouse and Killarney. Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand in this race and his Amir Kabir is dropping down from graded company to compete off top-weight on handicap debut, so has to be given plenty of respect. Elliott's Set Point looks ready for a step up in class after winning in Downpatrick and then a shade cosily in Tramore. The handicapper has had his say, but this son of Sea The Stars appears to be progressive. Global Export blew away the cobwebs with a never nearer third on the Flat in Listowel and this looks an ideal trip for her, while Elliott's By Your Side and his conqueror in Downpatrick, Rock On Seamie, are others in the hunt for a cheque.
