      Verdict

      Bollin Ace is becoming frustrating having placed in bumpers and over hurdles before throwing in a poor run at Carlisle. It could pay to stick with NUTS WELL (NAP) given Ann Hamilton's charge went very close carrying a penalty at Kelso last time having won a maiden hurdle at Hexham before that. Raise A Spark escapes a penalty for winning a conditionals race here last time and Good Vibration finished a close-up second over these hurdles on his penultimate start. Bumper winner Point The Way is another to consider making his debut over timber.
