Glorious Boru gets heavy going for the first time since second over course and distance in February when 4lb higher but it’s about time SKIPPING ON was getting his head back in front and he remains on a fair mark at present. Away For Slates stays this trip but is possibly better over slightly shorter and Haldon Hill has been below par this season. Joly Maker, who also wears the McManus colours, may have stronger claims and Ellens Way drops a further pound and holds The Brothers on the form book. Gars Bar Dine won at Fontwell last month but didn’t impress on a return visit.
