        Verdict

        A bumper winner at this track, SPECIAL CATCH opened his hurdling account over C&D a fortnight ago. He'll be a short price to follow-up in today's company despite a penalty. Stablemate Broctune Papa Gio made an inauspicious debut over timber when well beaten at Musselburgh and Franky Spec was already beaten when falling at Newcastle on his hurdling bow. Uno Valoroso, Vinetta and Ewe Are Joking all finished a distance behind the selection last time and Leyland, a winner on the Flat in Ireland, could prove a bigger threat on his second start for new connections.
