An excellent turnout for a moderate prize. Lord Accord landed a bumper and a maiden hurdle at Fontwell but didn't get very far there next time. SENDING LOVE looked smart when scoring easily at Ffos Las and his next two starts have been in Grade 2 company so he should find this more to his liking. Ballingers Corner joined the Henderson team after landing a point-to-point and made all to land a Market Rasen maiden. There's plenty more to come as there is for Sir Sholokhov, another winner between the flags and a very good third on his hurdling bow at Newbury. Only The Bold has been a short-priced beaten favourite in his two runs since his point-to-point success and will need to find more.
