        In depth

        Verdict

        Great Valley ran out on his hurdling debut at Hereford and was still beaten 23 lengths when second at Kempton but INSIDE MAN was beaten under a length by Liari at Wincanton and the winner landed a Listed race at Aintree last Saturday. Jane Williams’ gelding is a likely to be a warm order in this. Of the newcomers, the filly Speiriuil is Flat bred but Outside Half is out of a winning hurdler.
