Verdict

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and GLORY HIGHTS is taken to resume winning ways and edge out in-form maidens Miami Steve and Ninetofive. Course-scorer Boolamore Classic is another to consider along with the lightly-raced Didntgotwenty.

  1. GLORY HIGHTS
  2. MIAMI STEVE (IRE)
  3. NINETOFIVE (IRE)
