Verdict

It's almost a year since Russellstown ran and he's changed stables but there was plenty to like about his runs in maidens and doesn't look badly treated for his handicap debut. Slippery Serpent won a bumper and a maiden hurdle before failing in novice company and this looks tougher while Chateauneuf Du Pap has done better on much less testing ground. I Will Follow is an improving type though this looks on the short side but the four-year-old HIGH SCHOOL DAYS has been progressing nicely and can shrug off an 8lb rise for a comfortable victory at Gowran where she would have won more easily but for a last-flight error.
