Verdict

The experience of FULL BORE should stand him in good stead having won at Bangor before finishing runner-up under a penalty at Warwick. He still finished clear of the rest and gets another chance. Balli Martine placed at Southwell earlier while bumper winner Don Des Fosses is a likely improver. Black Lightning has placed in bumpers and makes his hurdling bow along with Espoir De Loire and Arthur's Sixpence, who have both won point-to-point maiden races.
