Verdict

THE HOLLOW GINGE was having his first start since March when winning at Newton Abbot on his hurdling debut earlier this month. He’s taken to defy a penalty up against today’s modest opposition. No Buts reverts to hurdling and has won four times over fences in the past but Tinseltown Girl was well beaten on her hurdling bow. Ballyknock Cloud was winning point-to-points earlier this year but debuts under Rules today along with Coeur Pensif and Cojack.
