Braeside continues to frustrate and probably needs a stiffer test of stamina though should be thereabouts again. Valley Breeze has been staying on over slightly shorter so will be suited by the extra but stable companion Pont Aval was beaten a long way at Down Royal after a much better effort at Naas. BETTER BE ALRIGHT didn't look suited by very heavy going at Limerick but still managed to finish a close third. He'll be better for the experience and gets the nod though if Egality Mans gets a run from his reserve spot he would be an obvious contender. Bentham looks best of the remainder after a decent start at Navan.
