Verdict

Plenty of potential on show here. NELLS SON was strong at the finish when going in at the first attempt over hurdles at Kelso so this useful bumper winner looks the way to go now he steps up in distance. Bill Baxter created a good impression when opening his account here last month and rates a big threat with Salvino, runner-up that day, and Half Track also in the mix in an intriguing novice.
