Verdict

Alcock And Brown was in good form on the Polytrack at Dundalk in April and has won on Turf on the Flat in Ireland. He could be interesting making his debut over hurdles and having his first start for Dan Skelton but RED HAMMER's narrow win at Huntingdon in March will have given him some confidence and a follow-up looks on the cards. Mr Kit Cat took five attempts to get off the mark over hurdles and only makes limited appeal under a penalty, though should make the frame again.
