      Verdict

      HOLLOW TREE, very progressive on the Flat for Andrew Balding, made an impressive winning start over hurdles at Bangor before an excellent second to Hinterland in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham and cannot be opposed here. Captain Sharpe, who won at Newton Abbot in August and has continued in good form, looks booked for second as Maratib and Kildare Kitten were both beaten a distance on their opening hurdles runs and Windsor Knights was moderate on the Flat.
