      Verdict

      Balkalin is 0-16 so the 10-year-old has very little scope. THREE PLATOON was clear of the rest when third behind a potentially-useful novice and a winning chaser at Uttoxeter and can get the better of the lightly-raced Hexham runner-up Pavlik and the mare Game Beaaa. Snake Roll is having a first run under Rules and Kauto Of Gold is making his racecourse debut.
