Verdict

Lord Of The Glen beat Undercover Brother over track and trip before scoring again back here with Arcavallo, Ballyare and Slowmo behind. But he found GORGEOUS GOBOLINA too good over course and distance in between those victories and the latter is fancied to confirm running back at this lower level having finished a respectable fifth in a Class 4 sprint at Musselburgh last week. Major Pusey has been thereabouts on Turf lately and has only his second outing on the all-weather.
