Verdict

Bumper winner ZERO TEN (NAP) made a winning start over timber with an impressive wide-margin success at Galway. The third has subsequently won and there should be more to come from Emmet Mullins’ charge. Rakhine State and The Caddy Rose are other maiden winners with the latter preferred on her victory at Punchestown last month while Eviscerating landed a handicap at Naas recently and is preferred to stablemate On Call back in novice company today.
