Verdict

Irish raider Herculaneum had every chance here yesterday but Barnabas Collins can get involved dropping back down in class after placing at Bangor. GIFT OF RAAJ was having only his second outing over hurdles when landing a novices race at Doncaster and further progress is expected now handicapping. Ninetofive has undergone a breathing operation and also makes his handicap debut along with Artic Row and the latter’s stablemate High Roller, who represent last year’s winning yard.
