In depth
Verdict
Patrick Mullins keeps the ride on Bellewstown third State Of Glory but she’ll need to find improvement to get the better of GERALDO. Jamie Codd’s mount, a winning pointer, was surprisingly mugged by Talk Of The Town when odds-on at Kilbeggan but Gordon Elliott’s charge will likely be sent to the front much earlier here. The Boys In Blue may be the pace-setter judged on his Gowran run but he will do better when tackling hurdles.
