FormscanBy Michael Graham - TRANSCENDING GLORY finished runner-up behind a very in-form rival in a slightly-higher grade over CD last month and could go one better. Fast ground clearly holds no fears for him. Current Option bounced back to form with a vengeance in a quality handicap at Fairyhouse and has to be respected. Port Louis was nearest at the finish in third in his last race at Fairyhouse and didn't have the clearest route. He ought to get plenty of pace to aim at in this contest. Serialise is a lightly-raced sort who was highly tried in Listed company at Navan, while the veteran Ice Cold In Alex should be coming home stronger than most.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 60-90
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
