Verdict
Sammylou is hard to catch right nowadays. Glance From Clover stays well but is one of several who lack a recent run. Propelled and Shuil Ceoil are others but the latter pair may still have some scope. Kimberley Eve has placed the last twice but is 7lb out of the handicap. REGAL RENAISSANCE will have stamina to prove but his two runs here this season have come in better company and Alice Stevens takes off a handy 6lb.
