      Verdict

      VE Day has been beaten twice since accounting for three rivals on his hurdling debut at Musselburgh but Hidol Du Livet took a step forward when making all at Worcester. However, he could find the 120-rated CARRIGEEN KAMPALA too strong here with Fergal O’Brien’s mare being a wide-margin winner of her last two starts. Borderline, placed in two bumpers here last year, makes his hurdling debut.
