Verdict
Bumper winner Hymac was third on his hurdling debut at Ffos Las but Russian Ruler has now had three runs over timber and is in danger of becoming disappointing, though does set the standard. SAINT DAVY, a winner between the flags, overcame inexperience to comfortably land a Carlisle bumper on his debut under Rules. A switch to hurdles will suit, as will this step up in distance. State Of Power has joined the Nicholls stable after winning a point by 30 lengths in February and Technology should be placed to good effect in the months ahead but Tango Arumba will need to improve on his fifth at Uttoxeter.
