Bollin Neil was still beaten a long way when runner-up over course and distance while winning hurdler Floating Rock makes his handicap debut on the Flat. But COGITAL finished well clear of the rest when narrowly beaten over today’s trip at Chepstow on his return from an absence and can return to winning ways in this.
