Course and distance winner Out The Glen was only beaten half-a-length by Cloudy Wednesday at Huntingdon in May and is 3lb better off, though was pulled up on his reappearance at that track. MILITIADES only weakened on the run-in when third behind the race-fit Supasunrise at Warwick. On 6lb better terms, it would be no surprise to see Henry Daly’s charge reverse running here and finally get his head in front. All of the remainder have questions to answer at present.
