Verdict
All of these debut under Rules and four have won similar races on point-to-point tracks including PARK HILL DANCER. A half-brother to the prolific winning hurdler Song For Someone, he’s joined Nicky Henderson’s yard and may prove the one to side with. Both Hilltown and Black Of The Glade returned easy winners with the former debuting for Seamus Mullins’ yard today but My Little Toni was the only one to finish when successful at Larkhill and is fitted with a tongue-tie. There was little to separate In Exell and Gingerbred when they filled the places at Great Threthew last month.
