Verdict

Having been pitched in deep on hurdles debut at this venue, WEVEALLBEENCAUGHT emerged with a lot of credit when third in the Hyde Novices' Hurdle in November and sure to progress, he looks the way to go down in class. School Days Over and Gentle Slopes failed to meet market expectations starting out over timber but both seem sure to progress, particularly over this sort of trip.
