Verdict

The Denis Hogan-trained HUGO 'N TAZ can continue his improvement in this contest landing the spoils on handicap debut following the geldings win in a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle in May 10L ahead of Friday's winner at Downpatrick, Touch Base. All's Quiet and the Gordon Elliott-trained top weight, Graineyhill can hit the frame.
