This isn’t a particularly strong start to the card with Well Joey and TRONGATE looking as though they are the duo with most improvement in them. The latter just shades the verdict with his yard in good form and a solid hurdling debut behind him. Verona Opera has had so many chances now over hurdles that she is hard to support with any confidence; although none of the other four make that much appeal in a weak opener. 1. Trongate 2. Well Joey 3. Verona Opera
