    Verdict

    Bound Hill finally got off the mark with a victory over track and trip last month but has been raised 9lb. PROUTS PUB (NAP) has been keeping better company and won the 2015 renewal of this off today’s mark. A conditional’s allowance further helps his cause and Nick Gifford’s charge should go close back in this lower grade. Poisoned Berry has been well beaten since winning a novice hurdle and Serpico has shown no progress over timber so far.
