      Verdict

      Only three of these have hurdling experience but Never No Trouble is proving frustrating to follow and now blinkered. Rated only 91, she looks vulnerable again as PRETENDING, a staying-on third at Doncaster, has more scope. Vision Of Hope has switched to Harry Derham’s yard and looks the pick of the newcomers on her Flat form ahead of Zestful.
