Verdict

GLENS MELODY had two of her stablemates behind when making a winning debut in a valuable event at Punchestown last month and looks a very nice prospect. She can take advantage of her fillies' allowance against Cullentry Royal, who is obviously highly regarded having started odds-on when making a winning debut over the C&D earlier this month. George Fernbeck has produced three good runs in the UK for Kevin Ryan so it will be interesting to see how he gets on as he makes his debut for Shark Hanlon.
