    Verdict

    Billy Billy's only victory to date came in a three-runner race over hurdles on this track. She's raced in better company than this over fences and has shown some potential so should get into the action. Virnon looked a nice prospect when completing a double over hurdles though has yet to make his mark over fences but So Satisfied won a novices' handicap here in October then jumped poorly in a better race at Kelso in December. Craiganboy also struggled on his chasing bow at Carlisle but LAS TUNAS (NAP) was always travelling well when gaining a smooth victory here a fortnight ago and can defy an 8lb rise in the ratings. Cowslip makes her debut over fences and the four-times hurdles winner starts off on what looks a reasonable mark.
