Verdict

The winner of a point-to-point and two bumpers, the mare KILBARRY LEADER (NAP) can make a successful switch to hurdling. Lady's Present appears to be going backwards while Hashtag Lord was disappointing on his first start for new connections at Kelso. Big Gangsta has won a point and placed in a bumper and looks the pick of the remainder ahead of Attention All.
