Verdict
A spell of hurdling seems to have transformed GALACTIC GLOW, who has returned to the Flat with a vengeance, landing three wins from four starts - all at this track. Though his winning run came to an end here last month, iit may be that the handicapper does not yet have his measure. Neil Mulholland has a couple to note towards the foot of the weights, notably Mini Mildred who produced a much better effort over course and distance this month and could prove well treated if able to back up that run. Lhebayeb has a 0-22 record under Rules but has performed well at this level this year and is not to be ignored. It's How We Roll and Nevendon are also respected in this grade.
