Verdict
Debuts for runners age nine and six, doesn't say a great deal for the quality of this race. Ormskirk , is improving over hurdles, Kitty B , has disappointed here, but is better than the majority of this field and Wait Here, could be one for the notebooks, while, VALGOR DU RONCERAY , should really be winning among this type of opposition.
