Verdict
Second twice over 3m here this season, Out The Glen should be thereabouts again off bottom weight. Caswell Bay and Broughtons Admiral should have benefited from comeback runs while Exploiteur should be winning soon judged on his second at Bangor. Sirop De Menthe is a previous course and distance winner and Eaton Hill is starting to look well treated but SERMANDO was showing improved form at the start of the year and there is a good chance that this further step up in trip will suit Jonjo O’Neill’s gelding. Samson's Reach is on a long losing run and worth opposing again.
