Verdict
MAGUIRE’S GLEN returned to chasing with a hard-fought win in this grade at Ffos Las. He’s gone up 4lb but might be good enough to go in again as Beallandendall steps up a level and half-a-mile in search of a hat-trick of course victories – he may also struggle to confirm recent running with Modeligo. Gustav didn’t appear to handle heavy going at Leicester while Nickname Exit returns from a lengthy absence.
