Verdict

HALLIGATOR shaped well in an Irish bumper and Kim Bailey wastes no time in getting his recent recruit over hurdles. Kanukankan reportedly bled from the nose on his last appearance at Doncaster and connections have taken their time to bring him back into the fold. Bagheera Ginge is of interest on debut for Nigel Twiston-Davies albeit the family have tended to be at their best with plenty of give underfoot. Sarsen has a bit to prove now having failed to build upon a promising debut at Market Rasen.
