Verdict
TIMBERMAN (NAP) defied a penalty at Market Rasen when scoring in novice company for the second time. He can go in again on his handicap debut with Fergal O’Brien’s yard remaining in fine form. Kentucky Hardboot is a maiden winner at Huntingdon and Sea Prince has won a novices' race at Hexham but The Some Dance Kid was still well beaten when runner-up at Bangor. Ballinsker finished closer at Ludlow having slid down the weights and drops down in class today.
