    Verdict

    Niven won over hurdles for Noel Meade and made a successful debut for new connections over fences at Hexham. The ground was heavy that day but his victory in Ireland was on good going. Reverant Cust made a wining start over fences on good going at Catterick and has found the ground too soft in subsequent starts. COOL MIX, a dual hurdles winner, has been narrowly beaten in two starts over fences here and with the ground and weights in his favour he can go one better.
