Verdict

STORM MAHLER returned to form with a strong second at Limerick and can build on that improved showing. Themanintheboots could be interesting back over hurdles after a year off. Hills of Glory impressed when winning at Downpatrick and remains open to improvement in handicaps. You Done Well won convincingly last time and merits respect.
