      Verdict

      Neither Apple Of Our Eye nor Midnight Folie covered themselves with glory on their respective hurdling debuts. Round Robin is more interesting having finished third in a bumper around here in May but this looks a straightforward task for POLICY BREACH if his jumping is up to scratch. He was second in a competitive bumper at Punchestown in April - the winner of that race is still unbeaten and the third went on to land a hat trick. Winning pointers Breath Of Blighty and Whitsundays are best watched at present.
