Verdict

Scottish raider Corrigeen Rock was successful at Kelso on his hurdling debut. He’s been quite highly tried since and still had a chance when falling at the last in a Class 2 at Musselburgh last month but does carry a penalty in this meaning he has to give PRIVATORY 10lb. Gary Moore’s recent acquisition also made a winning debut over timber when trained by David Cottin in France and could be a nice prospect. Happy Du Mesnil is another having a first run for a new yard and the Irish import looks the pick of the remainder.
