Verdict
The Hollow Ginge won twice over hurdles and should make a chaser. Conditions today will suit as he’s a thorough stayer. But FOLLOW THE BEAR has been making giant strides over the smaller obstacles and has already won a point-to-point so should be worth following over fences. The Conditional didn’t manage a place in six runs over fences in Ireland so is probably best watched on his first start for David Bridgwater after a lay-off but Lamh Ar Lamh is race-fit and has been consistent at a modest level over timber.
