FormscanBy Alan Magee - WALKING ON GLASS appears to be on the upgrade and scored with a bit more in hand than the winning margin would suggest when accounting for Princess Zoe at Navan last month. Aine O’Connor is good value for her 5lb claim and that should help to alleviate the 9lb hike in the ratings. Tonkinese merits plenty of respect having justified good support in the Apprentice Derby over course and distance last time and that race has already produced a couple of subsequent winners. Dinard Rose and Wajaaha are dual purpose performers to keep on the shortlist, while Rocky Blue won at Leopardstown on Thursday evening but Tom Mullins reported afterwards that the gelding would not be making a quick reappearance.
