Verdict
EN MENE TEMPS returned to action with a second at Hexham and looks worth a try over this longer distance. Ex S'elance was winning over a shorter trip here back in April and handles testing ground. The latter finished in front of both Event Of Sivola and Eveque at Hexham earlier in the year when Morozov Cocktail was pulled up. Ballintogher Boy has won over track and trip in the past but failed to complete in last year’s renewal.
