Glen Echo is our selection at Thurles, and the case rests on a progressive profile that makes him the pick over Peace Walk and Red Glory, who are only a pound ahead on our figures at 66 to his 65. Over 12 furlongs on good ground, a horse still improving may be able to close that narrow gap. Peace Walk and Red Glory are the obvious dangers on raw figures, while Felicity Smoak, a few pounds back on 62, could also enter calculations in a big field of 14. Glen Echo looks the one to be on.
