Analyis of the race
Little strength in depth in this novice hurdle which was run at a modest gallop early on and the first three finished well clear.
BOLD PUNT, who won a heavy ground maiden point in Ireland in January, confirmed the promise of his debut run over hurdles. Given a well-judged ride, he led until after four out, and then came again to lead after the last. His trainer reckons he'll be even better over three miles, and he's a chasing sort.
Innominate, quite keen early, raced in touch, went for home three out, but edged left and couldn't quicken after the last. He continues to run well, but its debatable whether he ran up to his mark of 111 here.
It was 48 lengths back to the rest who were headed by Skippers Lad, who made several mistakes and was struggling from four out.
Hurdling newcomer Rolecarr travelled well to the fourth-last, but faded.
