WEST HILL VERDE (4) remains a maiden. Did set a personal best when finishing third in the G2 Premier Kelso Novices Hurdle at Kelso end of February. Held by 12L on that occasion but could take beating. THE EGYPTIAN GINGE (3) performed adequately in a handicap hurdle at Haydock Park three weeks ago when runner up. Open to further improvement and hard to beat. GNOMON (2) was denied by a neck at Taunton making it three successive second place finishes tackling hurdles. Holds every chance. MAHON FALLS (5) provided fair form in her first two maiden hurdles in Ireland before struggling at Cork during December. More needed.
