In depth
Verdict
Trailboss, a dual winner on the Flat, showed signs of inexperience when third behind a couple of Paul Nicholls novices here on his hurdling debut. He’ll know more today but the champion trainer should know where he stands with TULIN, who has already won twice at Taunton in the style of a decent hurdler. Man Of Light showed definite signs of promise here last month and should pick up a race in due course while Bridget Andrews prefers Gadjet D'Ainay to newcomer Colden's Dream even though her mount ran a shocker at Warwick following an eye-catching first run at Uttoxeter.
