      Verdict

      Ranch Hand, a Listed winner over 2m on the Flat earlier this year, made a winning start over hurdles at Exeter but wasn’t overly impressive. Qualismart was having a first run under any code when beating last Saturday’s Doncaster winner Gunsight Ridge at Market Rasen but will likely find ADRIMEL (NAP) a tough nut to crack. Tom Lacey’s dual bumper winner only had to be pushed out to make a winning debut over timber in an Ascot maiden and should have plenty more to offer.
