      Verdict

      The four-year-old Ultra Violet, a dual winner on the Flat in France, ran well at Musselburgh in November before falling on a return visit a month ago. Ginger Mail showed potential in bumpers before a fair hurdling debut at Ayr while Domandlouis found 2m4f too far on the latter track after a better effort over this trip there. BELLA BLUESKY won a Musselburgh bumper in March but showed little over timber until reappearing at Newcastle last month when defying a 125/1 SP with a cracking effort so gets the nod to go one better.
