Race preview
SEARCH FOR GLORY has found a soft touch on his reappearance and should take all the beating. A point-to-point and bumper winner, he was Grade 3-placed - when beaten just a length and a half at Clonmel in February - and while outclassed at Cheltenham and Aintree, drops markedly in class and should win easily. Alvarez Eclipse has also won a point-to-point and ran fine in a Cork maiden hurdle in July. He is race-fit following a recent point-to-point - when exiting at the last - and might fill second place. Another point scorer Magic Sadler was well held in an April winners-of-two point-to-point, while Reversal should improve from last month's debut. El Phenomeno has a useful French pedigree.
