Verdict

The lightly-raced HACKNEY HILL was still learning on job when last seen on the track, and he looks capable of progressing now returning to action following a 211-day break. Ned In The Park showed promise in bumpers and is interesting on hurdles debut, while I Ballyadam Moon's latest run looks too bad to be true.

  1. HACKNEY HILL (IRE)
  2. NED IN THE PARK (IRE)
  3. I BALLYADAM MOON (FR)
