    Verdict

    FULGURIX reaped the reward for earlier placed efforts over fences when scoring at Hexham. The runner-up has already boosted the form and Richard Newland’s charge should make another bold bid. Monte Igueldo won a maiden at Worcester last month but debuts over the larger obstacles but Getaman won at Kelso before disappointing at Bangor a fortnight later. Rafferty and Dame du Soir make little appeal dropping back down in trip.
