VALLEYVIEW TOMMY made a respectable debut under Rules when third at Kelso on his hurdling bow. This longer trip will suit both him and stablemate Rob Roy Macgregor, though the latter was due to race at Newcastle yesterday. Points winner Askmore makes his hurdling bow after last month’s moderate effort in a bumper while Forged Well has placed between the flags and debuts for a new yard.
