In depth
Verdict
PASVOLSKY followed up a second on his debut under Rules at Lingfield by making all in a Wincanton bumper. Given his pointing experience, a switch to hurdles shouldn’t be a problem and this sharp track will suit. Castledhem placed twice in bumper but disappointed on his hurdles bow. Exeter runner-up Lady Kk may find this an insufficient test of stamina but is still preferred to the one-paced Jackson Hill.
