Verdict
Muckle Roe has shown promise but would have preferred a softer surface. Gin And Tonic needs more while bumper winner Minella Hero makes his hurdling debut following a break. Rolling Maul had been going well prior to being pulled up in a Listed handicap at Market Rasen but has to give 7lb to the progressive ADMIRAL HAWKE so we'll take Brian Ellison's charge to complete his hat-trick now he's got his act together.
