      Verdict

      This looks a modest affair with the possible exception of HURRICANE HOLLOW. Keith Dalgleish's four-year-old won a bumper at Carlisle a year ago and was far from disgraced in a Grade 2 at Aintree in April. Primary Route was a maiden on the Flat but did show some ability, as did Qibtee though he was well beaten on his hurdles bow. Brick Layer doesn't look one of his powerful yard's brighter prospects.
